Combating ISIS With Drones



drones with cameras 4k

The United States, Russia and other countries all want more modern aircraft. However, Ukraine doesn't have the same resources as the United States to train its soldiers to fly these aircraft. Although the Ukrainians have received training in Western countries such as Germany on vehicles and aircraft, they cannot receive the same training in Ukraine on drones. The Ukrainians are used a lot to trucks and older equipment, so drones are much easier for them to use. Drones are easy to use by soldiers, as they do not require pilots. Drones are also easy to use, similar to those in video games.

Aerorozvidka

Ukrainian military uses an unusual approach to fighting ISIS in east Ukraine. Octocopters are equipped with thermal cameras and can be used for night-time missions. Some drones can be fitted with antitank weapons and can even light up columns. These drones are highly maneuverable and can carry as much as 11 lbs of payload. Small size allows drones to fly low over targets, dropping munitions.

Aerorozvidka was founded as an IT enthusiasts group. However, it has evolved to become a military reconnaissance unit. Although the organization started as a civil drone company, it grew into a fully-fledged unit with its head. Because of export controls, the Ukrainian government barred Russian military aircraft from entering the country. Aerorozvidka is dependent on crowdfunding and donations to support its operations, since many components of drones are made in the US.

Switchblade

The U.S. military is supplying Ukraine with armed "Switchblade" drones, which are able to strike Russian tanks from miles away. These unmanned aerial vehicles were developed by the US Air Force in response to Ukrainian requirements. John Kirby (Pentagon spokesperson) stated that more then 121 of these machines have been dispatched to Ukraine. The Switchblades' use in the conflict in Ukraine is unknown.

The Switchblade is a small drone that is easy to launch from a tube and has a range of 40 kilometers. The Switchblade has a range of 40 kilometers and can hit Russian convoys up to 6 miles, unlike Bayraktar. These small aircraft can be assembled in minutes during a conflict like that of Ukraine. The Switchblade is capable of flying much faster than the Bayraktar, which is the current U.S. ally.


Russian kamikaze drones

The US announced recently that they would be providing $800 million of military aid to Ukraine. The delivery of 121 unmanned aircraft called "Phoenix Ghosts", which is intended to terrorize Russian forces, is part of the package. These aircraft are designed for flying over areas for up to thirty to forty minutes and come equipped with warheads, cameras, and other equipment. Switchblade, which weighs in at 5.5 pounds and can be used to destroy armored vehicles or tanks, is one such drone.

These small, lightweight aircrafts are equipped with a powerful, low-flying gimbal, allowing them to operate from air, land, or sea. Any advantage that an opponent has in the air battle is crucial in a conflict such as this. The Russian kamikaze drones are a direct threat. This capability will prove to be critical for Ukraine's defense, since it can break Russian sieges as well as attack command-and-control centers. Even though such capabilities would pose a serious risk to both sides, Ukraine could win if it can use small drones to make a difference in battle.

U.S. loitering drones

Russia is now integrating ZALA KYB lotering munitions in its military arsenal. These drones are able to use lethal loitering munitions in the manner of bazookas. This could lead to the proliferation these autonomous killing machines on black markets. But experts and observers are worried. What can the U.S. do?
