Recently, Russia launched a large-scale assault on the Severodonetsk urban agglomeration and made significant progress. According to the battlefield situation, Russia is probably trying to make a dumpling of Severodonetsk and Lisichansk and eat the 30,000 Ukrainian elite troops inside in one bite. But recently that plan was scuppered. On May 8, when a Russian brigade was crossing a ferry on the North Donets River , it was covered by Ukrainian artillery fire and suffered heavy losses. It was observed that 30-50 tanks were destroyed. This is roughly equivalent to a battalion's worth of equipment. It can be said that this is the biggest victory that Ukraine has won since the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war. Not only did it cause a lot of damage to Russia, it also effectively hindered Russia's plan to cross the river to make dumplings, buying precious time for the Ukrainian army in the encirclement.
By studying the details of this battle, we found that a Ukrainian scout played a decisive role. He used a drone to survey the river conditions in advance and determined possible crossing locations. In the end, the Russian army did cross the river at the place he expected. The Russian army released a large amount of smoke to conceal the target when crossing the river. He still used a drone to obtain the precise location of the target and transmitted it back to the artillery position. Then there was overwhelming artillery fire, and the Russian army abandoned their helmets and armor and fled in panic. It can be said that this scout who has made great achievements would not have been able to obtain such accurate information without the help of drones. He showed off his gear online afterwards. We found that he was using the Daotong evo2 drone.
This drone can now be said to be a hot commodity in the hands of the Ukrainian army. Let’s watch a video of the Ukrainian army using the Daotong drone to detect battlefield situations. The Ukrainian army now loves this drone and strongly urges the government to continue buying it. But the Ukrainian government has no money now, so many people who sympathize with Ukraine are donating this drone. For example, in a Ukrainian thank-you video, a Ukrainian-American named Artur Payenda purchased a full 10 Daotong evo2 and donated them to the Ukrainian army.
Why is this drone so popular in Ukraine? Let’s take a look at a video narrated by a Ukrainian military engineer. First of all, it is easy to carry. It weighs only a little over one kilogram, but has a battery life of up to 40 minutes, which is enough to complete large-scale combat reconnaissance. In addition, its speed reaches 20 meters per second and it is difficult to be shot down. It has a 12-channel visual sensor and an ultrasonic radar. Coupled with Shangdaotong's excellent obstacle avoidance algorithm, it has a powerful obstacle avoidance function. It can easily fly quickly in high buildings and jungles, and can withstand level 8 winds. It can be said that this kind of drone is tailor-made for soldiers on battlefields with complex terrain.
Secondly, in addition to its excellent flight performance, the essence of this drone is its reconnaissance capability. It is equipped with an infrared thermal imaging camera and an 8K camera, and the images of the two can be fused, which allows it to still perform excellent reconnaissance missions at night and in complex weather conditions. Even if the other party uses camouflage and smoke interference, there is nothing to hide in the field of view of the infrared camera. Thanks to the powerful domestic radio frequency chip, its image signal transmission distance is up to 9 kilometers, so soldiers can operate the drone safely without worrying about their own safety. With so many thoughtful features, it’s no wonder Wu Jun couldn’t put it down.
Finally, and most importantly, it has strong anti-interference capabilities. Regarding how to counter the other side's drones, I believe both parties at the war are also using their brains. However, currently commonly used anti-drone jammers and capture devices cannot effectively deal with Daotong's evo2. One is that it is small in size, fast, and can fly in complex environments, making it as difficult to deal with as a mosquito. Another one is that it can perform frequency hopping on 2.4g and 5.8g signals, which can avoid most jammers. Frequency hopping anti-interference technology is often only available in military communication systems.
Therefore, it is no accident that Daotong evo2 is called a popular star.But when Daotong Company designed this UAV, it has fully considered various situations encountered in the field and carried out targeted designs. Field work needs and military needs are often connected, which makes it suitable for use in the field. Brilliant on the battlefield.
The war this time is becoming more and more like World War II . One of the few modern highlights is the widespread use of drones in grassroots troops. It allows soldiers to obtain information about the opponent without risking reconnaissance fire, and can control a larger area with fewer people. I believe that all countries are studying various drone warfare methods that have emerged in this war. As China, which produces the Daotong evo2 drone, has integrated the gains and losses of drone applications in this war into the tactics of the People's Liberation Army, combined with Daotong's technology and production capacity, I believe it will produce a more perfect product. fruit.
