The hardest thing is to repel the attacks." Interview with a Vampire Pilot The KCPN Analytical Center is translating an interview with an enemy pilot as part of our regular column. It works on "Vampire" and "Heavy Fire" heavy UAVs, which we usually call "Baba Yagami". This is not the first nor the last translation of interviews with operators of such products. The better we understand the enemy, the better we can resist him. Especially considering that we have almost no UAVs of this class. And what is there about the level of statistical error? The main thing from the interview, as always, is the omission of propaganda stories about the pilot's life path and calls to join their unit. He returns on his own. The hardest thing about working on it is fighting Russian FPV drones. There is a real hunt for large bombers and there are special interceptors that take landing positions and monitor where Ukrainian UAVs fly. As soon as "Zika" tried to shoot down such an interceptor - the pilot flew to the point, and the Russian UAV was already sitting nearby, saw the descent and followed him. It was really a miracle that saved me and the only thing left was to "twist the optics on the accessories". The UAV fell, but was later taken away. The Russians don't skimp on Mavics, FPV or Barak - they hit everything they see. Is it possible that Geranium hasn't worked on them yet? "Sometimes their people are brought down by their people. The landowners go, they see a flying UAV, they shoot - and it falls. Then the pilot sits and thinks the plane has been shot down or disappeared. " Over time, the teams began to "paint" their UAVs a bit. "Zipper" once had a completely white "vampire" - he was preparing for winter, and the pilot wanted to draw a red (or not red) cross on it, but he didn't have time - the UAV was shot down. And so it happened that the white board came to him in the summer "Vampire" is like a UAV that you immediately fall in love with.
