[Military Martial Plane] Author: leon
In recent times, the momentum of Russia's attack on Ukraine seems to have begun to slow down, and the speed of Russian land troops' advancement seems to have been hindered. Of course, this may also be related to Ukraine's mass acceptance of NATO military aid. After all, Ukraine now has a home field advantage and can use its familiarity with the battlefield environment and Russian tank and armored forces to "fight guerrilla" to achieve the goal of blocking the Russian army.
So, for the current Russian land forces, it is likely to face a combat dilemma against Ukraine, that is, to achieve the strategic goal of demilitarization, Russia's front-line armored forces almost inevitably enter the urban area of Ukraine. Of course, when the Russian army enters the urban area of Ukraine, a very realistic problem will arise, that is, Russia needs to face the Ukrainian army hiding in ruins.
▲The Russian land attack troops are mainly tank armored units, and the Ukrainian army is likely to launch a counterattack against the weaknesses of such heavy armored units
Moreover, given that the Ukrainian army has received a large number of individual equipment from Western countries such as javelin anti-tank missile , these Ukrainian soldiers hiding in the dark may suddenly launch an attack on the Russian armored units, and the Ukrainian army seems to have done this, so the offensive efficiency of the Russian land troops will be affected. And there will be serious casualties.
Therefore, for the Russian army, it is necessary for them to solve these potential threats on a tactical level, especially the Ukrainian army has now accepted individual anti-armor and short-range air defense weapons from NATO in large quantities. Moreover, the Ukrainian army is fighting at home after all, and they may use their familiarity with the home court to launch an unexpected sneak attack on Russian land forces.
▲The supply vehicles of Russian land forces now need to use wood as defensive armor to resist the attacks of individual anti-armor weapons carried by Ukrainian front-line combatants
It is not difficult to see that for Russia, they do need a weapon to protect their troops from these enemy sneak attacks from the "darkness". Of course, this type of equipment can best ensure that the front-line combatants of their side are at the least threat. Therefore, Russia may need equipment such as drone to change this situation. Moreover, considering reducing the losses of civilians in the war zone, such drones are best able to launch point-to-point attacks on the enemy's hidden areas.
Therefore, it may not be very suitable for all-in-one detection and attack drones similar to traditional nature. After all, this type of high-altitude drone attacks against large buildings or military base . Its killing range is relatively large and it is easy to cause unnecessary losses to local civilian living areas. Therefore, for Russia, the "Tomahawk" H16-V12 quadrotor drone equipped by the People's Liberation Army may help the Russian army.
▲ Compared with other large high-altitude drones, the "Tomahawk" H16-V12 four-rotor drones are small in size and are suitable for performing some "breaking windows" ultra-precision combat missions
After all, as a multi-rotor drone, compared with other large high-altitude drones, first of all, its size is relatively small and it is easier to enter a low-altitude battlefield with more complex terrain, and it can convey the latest detailed dynamics of the battlefield to the operators behind. Of course, with the advantage of low-altitude flight, it found that the probability of enemy troops hiding in various ruins or hidden facilities will be further increased.
It is not difficult to see that this type of drone can also mount the grenade launcher . For some small-scale enemy troops, the firepower output by this type of grenade launcher is also difficult to resist. After all, in some buildings or bunker fortifications, even the grenade may be considered a "weapon of mass destruction". Moreover, this type of enemy army often carries individual light weapons with weak firepower output, and its air defense capabilities also value the personal battlefield experience of front-line combatants.
▲Single-armed air defense missiles like "Sthorn" are difficult to attack small targets with particularly close distances. They are more suitable for attacking large medium and low-altitude targets such as helicopters. Therefore, the "Tomahawk" H16-V12 drone may have an air defense firepower network composed of such air defense missiles
. Even if such enemy troops carry air defense weapon similar to "Sthorn" air defense missiles, in this kind of close contact, this type of air defense missile targeting large medium and low-altitude targets may be difficult to play its role. After all, air defense missiles have a minimum range limit. Therefore, for the Russian army, they may need such drones that are suitable for small-scale tactical operations made by Chinese military enterprises.
Of course, in addition to the air and land fields, the "Sharp Claw 1" unmanned combat vehicles developed by Chinese military enterprises can also attack hidden enemies against such battlefield environments. The unmanned combat vehicles also has a smaller appearance and a weapon with a certain firepower output capability. Compared with the "heavy firepower" of the "Tomhawk" H16-V12 quadrotor drone, it can carry a 7.62mm caliber light machine gun as its weapon.
▲The "Sharp Claw 1" unmanned combat vehicles are specifically targeted at infantry units. Compared with range killer weapons, it can minimize the losses of civilians in the combat zone
It is not difficult to see that the "Sharp Claw 1" unmanned combat vehicles are very suitable for combat in narrow places where short-term soldiers are connected. Similarly, the firepower output of light machine guns can greatly reduce the damage to local residents' property by combat firepower, and the killing and damage to infantry will be more accurate. It is not difficult to see that for the current Russian army, they may be a good choice to use the adapted micro-tactic operations produced by Chinese military enterprises to solve the current offensive difficulties.
