01:02That is, the drones of the Laiuti have already flown almost to the Urals, well, to the foothills of the Urals for sure.
01:09Today we will tell you how it appeared, how it was created, how drones replaced cruise missiles.
01:14This is also a very important point in terms of cost and application.
01:18Well, now we will talk about all this.

01:50Thanks to everyone who does this.
01:56In general, Ukraine met this war with almost no long-range weapons.
02:01There were Neptune cruise missiles, which were used to sink the cruiser Moskva.
02:06They were initially anti-ship.
02:09Then they were modified for use against ground targets.
02:13In particular, they were used against targets in Crimea.
02:16They have a relatively decent, but not that great range.
02:19It is 300 to 400 kilometers.
02:22This, in general, is a fairly typical range for cruise missiles of this type.
02:28In addition, the Ukrainians later began to supply Storm S-EDO and SLP cruise missiles.
02:34These are the same thing, just different manufacturers, British and French, also with a good range, but launched from aircraft, respectively,
02:42but at the same time, in principle, understanding this very strong disparity, that is, inequality in weapons, the Ukrainians began developing, they are developing cruise and ballistic missiles.
02:53Why did they only start after the war and why is it all taking so long?
02:57This is a separate story.
02:58We can also talk about this, but they began producing drones.
03:02And so, in particular, the production of long-range drones.
03:05One of such products was the Fierce AN-196 drone.
03:11Development began in the second half of 1922, that is, well, literally right after the invasion, the then commander-in-chief of the armed forces of Ukraine, Zaluzhny,
03:20set such a task to develop a drone with the ability to destroy, well, the European territory, uh, the European part of the territory of the Russian Federation.
03:30The Antonov Aircraft Manufacturing Company, the same one that produced the aircraft, was engaged in this.
03:37And, uh, the basis for the development was the study of foreign drones, in particular, Shaheds,
03:42because some number of Shaheds fall into the hands of the Ukrainians, well, let's say, in such a relatively intact form.
03:48They sometimes fall under the influence of some kind of malfunctions, they are carefully studied, disassembled.
03:54The reverse engineering method is also actively used, the method of study and so on.
04:00And in general, some decisions are also made.
04:07The first flight, if we go by the data from Ukrainska Pravda, was in October of 22, respectively,
04:13and by August of 23 the first batch was ready, and that's when they started to use them.
04:18There aren't many photos of this drone, because it's still a relatively classified product due to the fact that it,
04:28in general, has quite a strategic importance for the Ukrainians.
04:31There are all sorts of images of their arrivals in Russia, when people take pictures of them there with their phones,
04:39there are some blurry images, there's this photo.
04:41This is a model on the desk of one of the Ukrainian officials.
04:45Here it was photographed.
04:47And based on it, many experts did an analysis.
04:50What kind of drone is this?
04:52Layuti is an airplane-type drone, that is, it looks roughly like an airplane.
05:00It's a low-wing aircraft.
05:01A low-wing aircraft, in general, can be high-wing, mid-wing and low-wing aircraft,
05:06depending on where, from which, excuse me, part of the fuselage the wings grow.
05:10If from above a high-wing, mid-wing, low-wing, when the wings stick out from the lower part of the fuselage,
05:18like this Layuti, it has a twin-boom fuselage and, uh, the tail forms a single hole.
05:23And it looks like a frame.
05:27If anyone remembers, the Germans had such a reconnaissance aircraft during World War II from the Fock Wolf Company,
05:33which was called the frame at the front, because it had a similar design.
05:37It is used quite rarely.
05:40It is almost never used in aviation, but now they began to use it in the production of this drone.
05:46Uh, it is quite large, its length is almost 4.5 meters, the wingspan is 6.7 meters.
05:51This is a pretty decent size.
05:55Well, in general, here you can see, yes, uh, a person in comparison with this drone or a similar drone.
06:02It is quite difficult to verify that it is the Layuti in this photo, because, well, there are many similar, let's say, models.
06:10The same Layuti, for example, looks very much like the Turkish Bayraktar.
06:14You see, the Turkish Bayraktar is a reconnaissance and strike drone, while the Layuti is a kamikaze.
06:19Yes, it is a drone, uh, designed to strike.
06:26It has a propeller, a pusher propeller in the rear, and a chassis, respectively, with wheels.
06:31It has a two-cylinder engine.
06:36It is the HF-23.
06:38Germany produces such engines.
06:4050 horsepower.
06:42It is used, among other things, on ultralight aircraft and a cruising speed of 150 kilometers per hour.
06:48However, the declared range was initially more than 1,000 kilometers.
06:54And it has a rather curious history with the guidance system.
06:59Initially, it was inertial, that is, a route is set in advance, and it flies along it, and its route can be adjusted using GPS.
07:06Yes, but the problem is that the inertial guidance system is bad, because the further the arrival point, the more error accumulates.
07:18And this error can sometimes be hundreds of meters upon arrival.
07:23Literally, and accuracy is important here.
07:25Therefore, various innovations were introduced into the guidance systems there.
07:33In particular, they wrote that it later received a system called, well, experts claim this.
07:39In particular, there is a publication called Defense Express.
07:44They wrote that, most likely, it received the DS-MAX system.
07:52This is a system for correcting the route based on image matches.
07:55It flies, looks down, well, I'm speaking roughly, of course, yes, it sees the terrain, compares it with the images stored in it and thus corrects the flight.
08:14What is good about such a system is that GPS, for example, can be spoofed or jammed, and then there will be a problem with guidance.
08:21But this DS-MAX, nothing can be done with it, only physically shoot down this drone.
08:29Perhaps this explains such absolutely devilish accuracy of this fierce one, which hits individual buildings, hits, say, the rectification columns of oil refineries.
08:38Quite a difficult target to hit, it is not very big, it is narrow and quite easy to miss, but nevertheless, that is, it hit the target, uh, well, conventionally a few meters wide or in diameter.
08:51This is quite high accuracy, given the range.
08:54Once again, more than 1,300 kilometers is its range record.
08:58At such a range, to ensure accuracy in the final guidance section, advanced technologies are needed.
09:08Either such guidance systems are needed, perhaps it has a video camera inserted into the nose, and with the help of satellites, the operator takes control of this drone in the final section of the flight and attacks in real time.
09:19The Ukrainians stated that this drone has high noise immunity, that is, high resistance to electronic warfare, that it has the ability to adapt to the terrain, that is, to fly at low altitudes, unlike, say, a cruise missile.
09:44Well, cruise missiles also have such modes.
09:47In general, for a drone, given that it has an internal combustion engine, and everything depends on the amount of fuel it has, yes, it can fly at low altitudes, up to 20 meters many tens or hundreds of kilometers, yes, and thus reach the object it is aimed at.
10:05Its warhead is 50 kilogram.
10:06It's not that much, but 50 kilograms of explosives, depending on what type of explosives are used, given the accuracy of the hit, it is capable of causing quite heavy damage, uh, and providing such a serious impact on the object, if, uh, such a high accuracy is ensured.
10:25At first they wanted to make it under 100 kilograms, but then, during the calculations, they still made the choice in favor of accuracy.
10:36It is better to make it longer range and more accurate than to try to cram 100 kilograms of explosives into it instead of, uh, 50.
10:43This drone is constantly being modernized.
10:49While it has been decided not to increase the warhead, everything is working in favor of increasing the range, stealth, interference immunity and accuracy of destruction.
10:57As for the cost of this drone, this is again classified data.
11:06Uh, it is clear that a drone is a much cheaper product than a cruise missile.
11:11In fact, the Ukrainians have found such a replacement for cruise missiles.
11:15Uh, but what is the problem?
11:18Drones were once immeasurably cheaper than cruise missiles.
11:21That is, we were talking about a cost an order of magnitude lower than the cost of a cruise missile, because this product is very, very complex.
11:29Drones like the Li-UT are expensive.
11:33That is, its estimated cost is about $200,000.
11:37That's a lot, well, such data, in any case, appears on the internet.
11:42$200,000, if you consider that, say, an average cruise missile costs about a million dollars, yes, that's one-fifth of its cost,
11:50not an order of magnitude, because its design includes, in particular, boards for the guidance system, like in cruise missiles.
11:59That is, it's a very expensive thing, but its main advantage over cruise missiles is, uh, production speed.
12:06That is, such drones are produced much faster than cruise missiles, and the most important thing is the absence of a carrier.
12:13That is, it doesn't need a carrier, it launches from, well, a flat piece of soil or a relatively small section of highway, a couple, I honestly don't know for sure, I didn't find any mentions.
12:24Well, there, let's say, it doesn't need a runway, 50 meters of normal asphalt will be enough for it to take off.
12:34And then it can fly all the way to the Urals, as they say.
12:37Whereas a cruise missile requires either an aircraft, or a ship, or a submarine, or a land-based launcher to launch it.
12:47That is, it complicates everything and makes its production more difficult.
12:51The drone has been made, here it is ready.
12:53The drone and the control station.
12:54A cruise missile is the missile itself is a launcher.
12:59If it is a ship, then there is nothing to talk about at all, how complicated it is, or even an aircraft.
13:05And this is the control system.
13:06That is, it is all quite complicated.
13:10Uh, let's say, a coastal cruise missile launch complex, it requires a vehicle with a launcher, a support vehicle, a guidance station.
13:18Well, that's a lot of everything and a lot of money.
13:24Whereas a drone is a product that is absolutely autonomous in this sense.
13:33In new modifications of the Fierce Now a system is beginning to be used, called Skynode S Bus Vision, when not the operator, but the drone itself sees with its own vision, with its own camera, images of targets, can adjust the flight there, adjust the attack on this target.
13:48And so on.
13:52And provide yourself with more accurate navigation, even if there are some problems with GPS or other guidance systems.
14:00If you noticed, drone attacks occur at night.
14:03Why?
14:05Because, firstly, most of the Russian air defense is, excuse me, machine guns with automatic weapons, yes, near objects, but many times you probably noticed when you watched the video,
14:15there is such crazy shooting from small arms.
14:19At night, of course, you do not understand what to shoot at.
14:23And from the point of view of thermal imaging thermal imaging guidance, drones are worse visible.
14:30They have a small thermal signature, their materials are not the same as on missiles, and they generally reflect poorly in this range.
14:36Thermal radiation is small, and therefore it is more difficult to target them.
14:44Yes, there were many cases when, say, Panzer missiles literally missed a drone, despite the fact that it was flying at a speed of 150 kilometers per hour, it would seem, an ideal target for destruction.
14:55Now, the Ukrainians are starting to use the so-called swarm effect.
15:02What is the essence of it?
15:04That is, it is possible to create something like this.
15:07Once upon a time, there was such a project in the Soviet Union called Granite.
15:13Well, in particular, it was used to arm submarines of the anti-class the Kursk submarine belonged to this project.
15:19949, if I'm not mistaken, are there, uh, the Pyotr-Valiki-class cruiser.
15:27It was armed with granite missiles, it used the swarm effect, when missiles attack not separately, but in coordination with each other.
15:34This required very complex algorithms, complex software for those times.
15:39Now it is much easier with this, since all these technologies have advanced greatly.
15:43Therefore, the fierce ones are trying to use it in coordination with other drones.
15:46Here the Russians use Shahids in coordination with Gerber's, which distract the air defense.
15:51The Ukrainians use a drone.
15:53It is called Rubaka.
15:54It, too, its task, in general, is mostly to distract the air defense, to force it to turn on.
15:59All this is visible.
16:00It is possible to change the flight routes of drones, flying around those zones where the air defense systems are located.
16:07The main advantage of the Lyut, of course, well, I have already talked about this, is the range.
16:12It is more than 1,000 kilometers.
16:14That is, in the European part, it stupidly reaches everything and everywhere.
16:19And the Ukrainians are now also moving to massive use, to attempts to oversaturate the air defense.
16:25Recently there was an attack on Sochi, yes, they attacked fuel terminals there.
16:30And now the Ukrainians are faced with a task, since they were quite successful in paralyzing air traffic on the territory of Russia,
16:36they are now trying to paralyze rail traffic, that is, to arrange such a transport collapse.
16:42Again, let's remind anyone who forgot, it was Russia that invaded Ukraine, right?
16:47And now the war has returned to its territory, so there's no one to be offended at.
16:51They themselves are to blame for this situation, but we won't go into this again.
16:54I'm just saying that the Ukrainians managed to find a solution.
16:58It's not easy.
16:59The war is still going on.
17:01Russia has a serious, serious advantage in aviation.
17:04Yes, just now, when we were recording this video, the Air Force flew over Kharkov, they caused terrible destruction there.
17:10It has an advantage in terms of all kinds of crews and ballistic missiles.
17:13But the Ukrainians are looking for asymmetric solutions.
17:16And they generally manage to find these symmetric solutions.
17:19Well, we'll also continue to study such weapons, study drones.
17:24We'll also talk about the Shahids, why not, actually, yes, since this topic is relevant for us too.
17:30This is an Iranian drone.
17:31The Iranians used these drones against us too.
17:34Let me remind you, during our 12-day war, they launched 100 drones.
17:38Of these, only two reached their targets.
17:41That's it.
17:41That is, all the rest were shot down.
17:43But they were shot down thanks to such pretty serious efforts.
17:46The Allies helped, we ourselves, the aviation worked there.
17:51In general, it was so pretty difficult.
17:53Thank you for watching my videos.
17:55Please don't forget to support them.
17:57And see you soon.
17:58Bye everyone.
17:58Bye everyone.
