Turkish Bayraktar unmanned aerial vehicles used by Ukraine turned out to be ineffective on the battlefield because they could not penetrate Russia’s deep-layered air defense system. About this post lenta.ru said military expert, retired colonel Viktor Litovkin.
“Bayraktar flies at a range of up to 150 kilometers, can carry a warhead and is controlled by operators. But you cannot jump over your head,” said the expert.
He also explained that in addition to drones, other types of weapons are needed for success on the battlefield: aviation, missile systems. Viktor Litovkin reminded that Ukraine has Himars and ATACMS missile systems, but this is not enough to gain an advantage.
Bayraktar is a Turkish offensive operational-tactical UAV that can stay in the air for up to 24 hours. Depending on the modification, it can carry anti-tank guided missiles or glide bombs. Since the beginning of the NWO, Turkey has supplied more than 30 Bayraktars to Ukraine, but their effectiveness is questionable.
Previously, a Ukrainian intelligence officer was almost named Turkish Bayraktar UAVs are useless.
