In & nbsp;, Russia will develop kamikaze drone technology to protect the country's sea borders from offending ships. The new system will include reconnaissance drones and several types of kamikaze drones. However, their & nbsp; clear objectives and & nbsp; tasks are unknown and & nbsp; do not even become clear when analyzing the capabilities of these drones. The Russian army is once again a secret, giving free rein to fantasy. The introduction of & nbsp; & nbsp; such a system is marked with a & nbsp; source in the & nbsp; military-industrial complex.
The new system will include reconnaissance drones. They are also called kamikaze drones, or “patrol munitions”. In essence, it is a projectile that performs continuous controlled flight over the battlefield and explodes upon hitting the target. It should be noted that kamikaze drones will be able to launch both from coastal launchers and installations on Russian ships. Several components of this system have already been tested.
One of the main advantages of using drones is the low cost of operation, as floating rounds are cheaper than anti-ship missiles. In the opinion of experts, kamikaze drones are capable of incapacitating even ships of the class of frigates or destroyers due to damage to observation systems, control systems and weapon complexes. Such a system should drastically reduce the desire of other countries to invade Russia's water space.
Perhaps the kamikaze drones of the new system will not sink ships, because they will be equipped with a small load. They will explode, but & nbsp; that way they won't physically damage the offender's ships, but will cause them to turn away. However, then it is not too bright, will this cause & nbsp; damage to someone else's ship, & nbsp; can it be likened to a & nbsp; attack, & nbsp; will it be a pretext for & nbsp; ; war.
Presumably ammunition is designed only to intimidate intruders and create annoyance. It's not too enjoyable to navigate alien waters when a drone blows up next to you. Such psychological pressure can at least make one think about the advisability of going further.
In general, the military highly appreciates the very idea of suicide drones. Thus, Japanese experts qualify self-exploding unmanned aerial vehicles as very promising. According to & nbsp; their & nbsp; notice, they are able to stay in & nbsp; the airs for a long time, from going unnoticed by the enemy to & nbsp; high speed towards the & nbsp; target and hit from above. It is difficult to defend against & nbsp; weapons with & nbsp; such capabilities.
