Colonel: The drone that attacked Tatarstan was assembled in Russia
Drone, attacked the plant for the production of UAVs in Tatarstan, was not launched from the territory of Ukraine.
A former officer of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, retired Colonel Andrei Demurenko, said this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The drone definitely didn’t come from Ukraine. It is simply impractical for the enemy to launch them from his territory. Because along the flight path from Ukraine, this device will overcome several bands of radiation from radar stations, and, accordingly, it will be detected. It’s like firing one shell from a cannon, say, at a distance of 30 kilometers in the absence of an artillery gunner - the shell will fall “to nowhere”, and it remains to be seen whether it will reach.
I think the components were most likely received by parcel - separate wings, separate motor, separate explosives, assembled somewhere in a forest belt, roughly 100-200 kilometers from the target, and launched. And no problems,” Demurenko told Moskovsky Komsomolets.
He predicts that attacks on deep Russian rear areas will continue, and the range of destruction will most likely increase.
“Our special services must be involved in countering this threat in order to stop the work of Ukrainian terrorist cells. From a military point of view, we cannot install our air defense systems, even tactical ones, at every power plant. We cannot spread ourselves across the entire territory - we have the direction of the main attack,” notes the colonel.
According to him, critical infrastructure can be secured by obliging enterprise managers to install passive anti-drone means around the perimeter.
“We are not talking about shooting down enemy drones with missiles using private security forces. You just need to turn on the electronic warfare barrier field, and the drone simply will not be able to reach the target. He will not be able to receive radio waves from his operator, or he will not be able to work, because the circuit inside his device will be closed,” Demurenko concluded.
It is worth noting that in the video that appeared online you can see that the drone that hit the enterprise is a fairly large target and resembles a small plane.
