Testing the drone Italmas in Sumy for attacks on other territories
- Russians are testing the drone Italmas in Sumy for further use.
- The Italian development of 2023 may threaten other regions.
- An expert calls for the creation of solutions for the protection of cities.
This is reported by Ukrayinska Pravda, Mezha.
The drone Italmas poses a serious threat to Sumy. Russian troops are conducting its testing in the city, and the experience gained will likely be used in other areas.
Jerelo: Serhii Beskresnov, known as Flash, a consultant in the field of military radio technology, on social media.
Quote from Beskresnov: "Russians have indeed created a testing ground in Sumy for the testing of this BПЛА. And do not doubt that they will transfer the experience to other fronts."
Details: The consultant noted that Italmas is derived from drones of the КУБ, with which it often competes. In this BПЛА, the engine is a propeller.
Beskresnov also emphasized that Italmas transmits analog images of the pilot, which is controlled by him. This may be disrupted by the РЕБ system, which is aimed at providing video in the frequency range of 3.3 GHz.
"But we are not doing this. Perhaps, we should start thinking globally about creating solutions for the protection of peripheral cities?" - the specialist concluded.
Fon:
- Previously, an expert noted about the use of drones for attacks on Sumy. On July 24, Flash published a photo of one such BПЛА with the caption: "This is what attacked Sumy today."
- Open sources indicate that the drone was developed in 2023 under the code name Ізделіє 54 and is a simplified version of the Shahed-136 drone, which the Russians use for attacks on Ukrainian cities.
