At the Zapad-2021 exercises, Russia for the first time used the drones of the Lastochka complex
At the ongoing West-2021 exercises, representatives of the Ministry of Defense used for the first time reconnaissance and strike unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) "Paceman" and "Outpost", which are part of complex "Swallow".
So during the exercises, UAVs were used to support the advancing troops. During the exercise, the drones successfully hit the enemy's conventional manpower, as well as armored vehicles located in an open area. So UAVs were used fragmentation and cumulative ammunition.
So the UAV "Forpost" is a licensed copy of the Israeli apparatus Searcher II. The Russian modification "Forpost-R" is distinguished by the use of Russian components with a take-off weight of only 0.5 tons.
And the "Walker" is a purely Russian development, made by the engineers of the "Kronstadt" company. At the same time, the Russian-made drone has the ability to carry on board not only guided, but also corrected bombs, as well as guided missiles.
Note. Exercises "West-2021", which took place from 10 to 14 September 2021, were held at training grounds in Russia and Belarus. More than 200,000 people and over 700 combat vehicles, as well as 80 aircraft and helicopters, took part in the exercise. In addition to the Russian and Belarusian military, representatives of Armenia, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia and Sri Lanka took part in the exercises.
During the exercise, the military mastered the skills of quickly creating powerful interspecific groupings, planning and implement actions in any direction, promptly suppress any aggressive actions, etc.
Well, no doubt the exercises for our military are simply necessary in the first place in order to demonstrate to their Western colleagues that in the event of any aggressive actions, our military can easily easily defend our population.
