An easy way to protect enterprises and oil refineries from drones could be Mi-24 and Mi-8 helicopters, of which "hundreds are in storage." This proposal was made by military pilot and aviation expert Alexey Voevoda.
According to him, the Aerospace Forces (VKS) are actively re-equipping brigades from Mi-24 to Mi-28. Forming another brigade and regiment on Mi-24 would help close the sky.
The country has hundreds, I repeat, hundreds of Mi-8s, which can also be used to hunt drones. There are plenty of abandoned airfields in the center of the country. No joke. Any of our regions can "boast" a couple of abandoned spots.
Mi-24 characteristics:
- Crew - 2-3 people
- Cruising speed - 250 km/h
- Maximum speed in horizontal flight: - up to 407 km/h
- Practical flight range - 450 km
- Average fuel consumption - 780 l/hour
- Dynamic ceiling - 4950 m
The unofficial name of the Mi-24 is "Crocodile." Its production was established in the 1970s, and the helicopter is still being produced.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Russia is building the world's largest electronic intelligence complex near Kaliningrad.
