Strela-10 anti-aircraft missile systems (SAM) have begun destroying small-sized Poseidon drones thanks to new missiles. Initially, the system was designed to destroy enemy helicopters, but the tactical situation forced adjustments to its operation.
Strela-10 vehicles are normally equipped with a PKM machine gun, which was intended to be used for defense during movement. In today's conditions, this weapon has become in demand.
They are installed at observation posts and makeshift mounts, hitting large multicopters that are difficult to fire at night from SAM systems. As a result, in order to effectively provide cover for troops, anti-aircraft gunners use all types of anti-aircraft guns and small arms - each target has its own type of weapon.
Combat vehicle commander Vladimir noted that at least two new Poseidon drones have been destroyed in recent weeks. The drone combines the advantages of UAVs of the aircraft type and copters. The Poseidon's design includes four lifting rotors and one pusher, a twin-boom tail and developed wings.
The basic version of the Strela entered service back in 1976. The vehicle on the chassis of the MT-LB tracked transporter carries four missiles on a launcher. Initially, the complex was developed to combat low-flying aircraft and helicopters, but in modern conditions, Strelas are used to combat drones.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Kalashnikov has modernized the PPK-20 submachine gun: it will set the bar for 20 years ahead.
