    UAV thread

    Beer replied to Toxn's topic in Aviation

    Potentially big news. I think nearly all Turkish drones (Bayraktar TB2 and Anka-S sure) use Canadian Wescam optics. Now it's a question how long the ban stays in place.

    Some diplomatic traffic... just a bit shown (there were two flights of Armenian government Airbus to Moscow during the weekend). Also it's worth to point out that Azeri and Turkish cargo flights continue to fly through Georgia. According to Ria article from 5th October there were 93 Syrian fighters killed in Nagorno Karabakh conflict. According to the same article there were 322 Syrian fighters there on Oct 1st and another 430 arrived during the weekend. If true the casualty rate is such that going there is more or less a suicide. https://ria.ru/20201005/karabakh-1578209189.html

    Just a nice formation of SyAAF L-39ZO.
  4. Beer
    Very long range missile R-37M test fire from Su-35S.

    I think he meant that this is the modernized one shown on Army Expo, not the original system (see the new optical head). But on the other hand we have seen plenty of such vehicles on the Kavkaz-20 excercise and it's a question if those were only single pieces being evaluated or if larger larger batches were already purchased.

    Same place, initial phase of the ambush. ATGM hits on two trucks. Three tanks captured by Azerbaijan and Smerch rockets (presumably cluster ones) in Ganja, Azerbaijan. Azeri Mi-24 in action. First video from a captured Armenian position is NSFW. Armenians captured some Azeri position. NSFW. Some Armenian trucks and stuff captured by Azeris.
  7. Beer
    Previously post video of deadly strikes against Azeri convoy and infantry in better resolution. Direct artillery hit among infantry at one moment, ATGMs used to snipe infantry, several vehicles destroyed.
  8. Beer
    Armenian artillery strikes plus a tank being hit and destroyed possibly by RPG from twenty meters or so. Dozens of Azeri corpses being removed by Armenian soldiers. NSFW. Possibly Smerch cluster ammo hitting Stepanekert residential area. Attack on Azeri convoy (plus what was already in previously posted video). Nearly intact Azeri Orbiter. What looks like a Tochka or Scud crater in Azerbaijan. Azeri Ganja city and its airbase was hit by long range missiles. Some hit residential areas. So far the civilian casualties were very low thanks to the LOC being largely depopulated in the previous decades but this long range strikes bring civilians on both sides in danger. Turkey allegedly handed over 55 bodies of dead Syrian fighter yesterday back to their relatives. NSFW.

    Next portion, still many more remain. I am closing to 1000 km this year... Balloon in the sunset at the golf field near Karlštejn castle, south of Prague. Krkonoše mountains seen from the top of a ski jumping tower. North-eastern Bohemia (behind the mountains there is Poland). "Tuscany" some 100 km north-east of Prague around the town of Jíčín (close from the previous place). So called Czech paradise protected natural area. Sázava river again. South of Prague with a balloon in the evening sun. View towards the iconic Bezděz castle from Vrátenská hora hill (the small white dot in the middle is a light reflection of the Ještěd tower mentioned in one of my previous posts).

    The current admitted number of fallen Armenian troops is 104. Nothing from Azeri side. Riam Dalati from BBC Syria claims to have verified already 9 Syrian fighters who died in Nagorno Karabach (of many more claimed). Allegedly Armenian pilot on parashute. No other details. This is 3 days old but it's another flying target shot down. Probably UAV. Allegedly another drone downed by Iranian AD after intrusion into Iranian airspace. Some of the latest azeri drone footage shows hit on OSA decoys or a burned wreck (of Repellent anti-UAV system by the way).
  11. Beer
    Don't know what damage was caused by the collision and what by the landing but that C-130 lost blades of three propellers and a refueling pod.
  12. Beer
    Video of the F-35B impacting ground.
  13. Beer
    Retreat of dozens of Azeri soldiers under fire with a gigantic cook off one one tank. Yesterday I was wrong about the drones as tons of new drone footage from Azeri side post by Looser show. Wreck of some UAV. Another An-2 downed. Another UAV downed. At least the first one here is successful interception of another flying object in the night. The second one may be a missile autodestruction as well. I don't know. Another successful interception. Captured Azeri BMP-2 No.397 (previously captured damaged ones caught on the video were No.386 and 388).
  14. Beer
    Armor slaghterhouse continues. This video of Azeri TOS-1 looks legit. Two aerial targets (probably UAV) hit by the Armenian AD at the same time. From the fact that stream of Bayraktar TB2 videos stopped and many videos of successful AD engagements started to appear it seems that armenian AD managed to overcome the initial shock. Some UAV wreckage. Armenia claims that Turkish F-16 shot down Armenian Su-25 engaging it from the territory of Azerbaijan and killing its pilot. No proof has been released yet.
  15. Beer
    This could be one of the previosuly shown wrecks. An-2 being shot down by Strela or Osa. This could be the same situation. What is falling down on the video looks again like An-2. Some Azeri drone wreckage (there is the optical ball at the end). Orbiter shot down by Osa. Azeri kamikaze drone hitting a shelter with Armenian troops. Some drone was shot down by Iranian SAM after allegedly crossing the border.
  16. Beer
    It could be one of the the "Ferdinand killer" S-26 prototypes with high velocity 130 mm gun which didn't enter production simply because of no need for it. Here is an article about the development of different variants: http://www.tankarchives.ca/2019/12/heavy-tank-destroyers-that-remained-on.html
  17. Beer
    Appearantly part of the drone footage was duplicated.
  18. Beer
    Successful engagement of Armenian AD. What was shot down, hard to say. Looks like something relatively large and slow moving in low altitude. This video showing torn rear end of an aircraft and exploding wreck. I would say it's another An-2 (clearly different one than the first one). It can be the same thing as shown on the video above. Azeri infantry retreating under fire and taking casualties. A bus targeted in Armenia proper, not in NKR territory.
  19. Beer
    Another picture of an alleged dead Azeri pilot (different one). While there is a helicopter behind him he has An-2 patch on the chest. I don't know if he indeed died or if his photo was just randomly picked by the tweet author to support the Armenian story. Anyone able to identify the drone wreckage on the first picture (the rest obviously isn't a helicopter as it was already established)?
  20. Beer
    @ Looser: It appears the poor An-2 indeed had to crash recently. The crash site looks very freshly burned. There is even a photo claimed to be a bomb from the plane and the Armenians claim to shot it down. It sounds too crazy to be true. I don't know what to think about it because I can't see why would anyone send An-2 for bombing mission. At least one Azeri pilot died, so something was indeed shot down and since that An-2 wreck lies deep in the territory controlled by Armenia it's for sure from another case. Some say a Mi-24 was shot down yesterday, so maybe from that one? I will not post every video of dead soldiers because there is a lot of other stuff. Let's go with it. An Armenian position overruned by Azeris. Armenian side admits 84 fallen so far. More Azeri armor looses.
  21. Beer
    Something seems to be wrong with the edit function after the update of the forum. Anyway, lots of Azeri Pions in action.
  22. Beer
    More Azeri armor being destroyed. And more Azeri/Turkish Bayraktar TB2 strikes.
  23. Beer
    No. I really can't see how to explain that to you if you don't understand the most basic math. Let's try. If you have a square garden of 100 square meters, how long fence do you need around it? 40 meters, right? Now make the garden 400 square meters for your three dogs. How long fence you have now? 80 meters, right? You have the very same fence. Which one is heavier? The second, right? It is twice heavier but it's the very same fence offering your dogs the very same protection. You can add twice thicker fence to the first small garden to have the same weight of the fence. Do you understand now? Sorry but if you don't understand this basics than there is no discussion possible.
  24. Beer
    Come on, you don't need to give up any armor. You don't need to protect x cubic meters of internal space for the crew. Do you understand what makes the difference? You can even add much more armor on the unmanned turret and still save tons of weight compared to the manned one.
  25. Beer
    Not that it would change anything on what you wanted to say, just alittle nitpicking from my side. Most of the ATGMs are much slower than 300 m/s so the system must be able to detect and track slower threads (I would put it rather to +/- 100 m/s and above - Malyutka has speed around 100 m/s).
