The Ukrainian military recently captured a Geranium-2 "suicide" drone equipped by the Russian military, which is also a normal thing, but what happened next has everyone looked sideways.
After completely disassembling the drone, the Russian army was surprised to see that the Russians had transformed the drone, and this new strategic thinking shocked not only Ukraine, but also the West.
Geranium Flower-2, a Russian-made Iranian Shahed-136 type, was used as the main ** in the fight against Ukraine in the early days of the Russian-Ukrainian war. Based on the recent disassembly, the Russians have made some changes to its original design, adding a peripheral that can carry ** items and a miniature modem.
Even more surprising is the inclusion of a 4 G SIM card on the data machine, which is sold by the Ukrainian company "Kyiv Star". This proves that Russia is using the communications equipment of hostile countries as one of its own strategies.
In fact, it is no secret what improvements Russia has made on the u**. For example, Russia's Tianzhu Sunflower 2 has installed a satellite positioning device that counters electromagnetic interference. However, because Ukraine has also stepped up its interference in its navigation system, general navigation plans are often affected, and there is also the possibility that drones will deviate from their intended routes. At this time, Russia urgently needs to look for another option.
It's clear that their approach is creative and practical. The Russians tried to use Ukraine's cellular communication system throughout the country for their own location and navigation. SIM cards are used to transmit data to neighboring mobile communication bases, and triangulation methods are used to accurately locate them, so as to achieve precise control of military targets in Ukraine.
Civilian communications are not a new concept in the military field, but Russia's clever use of them this time is the pinnacle of brilliance. Although the accuracy of the GPS positioning system such as the special GPS is relatively high, because Ukraine has a high mobile communication network base station, the accuracy of its trilateral position can also meet the requirements of the battlefield, and it is more than enough for auxiliary positions.
This is not completely safe, and while people show their intelligence and resilience, there are also many dangers. Obviously, as long as Ukraine's communications companies and the military work together to monitor the rate and bearing of the mobile phone signal, it will be able to track it and correct the defense system accordingly. But this requires massive monitoring and real-time analysis, and the current situation in Ukraine may not be able to be completed.
It can be seen from the ** that the transformation of the Russian side is very simple, perhaps because this transformation is only to test new tactics on the front-line battlefield, and there are not too many details. However, if this approach is feasible, it is likely that in the future the military will create a more advanced drone with a communications component.
In addition, Russia can also develop more u** technologies, such as deploying an electronic monitoring device in Ukraine, using mobile phone communications to collect Ukraine's defense system, or multiple u** to unite to determine the defense system of the Ukrainian army. The emergence of this new combat mode not only reflects Russia's rapid adaptation and Xi to the war situation, but also brings new ideas and methods to international strategic research and application.
* The human experience is very helpful to us. As military exchanges between China and Russia deepen, the Chinese expect to get some inspiration from them for tactical and equipment research. This visit is of great significance to the cooperation between China and Russia in the field of national defense, and will also enhance the connotation and depth of cooperation between the two countries.
