00:04Olá e bem-vindos ao The Cube, aqui em uma série de fact-checking show.
00:07Este vídeo mostra um aparelho de avião interceptando a drone.
00:12Online, alguns usuários têm pensado que é uma tecnologia de ukrainia, outros dizem que é uma tecnologia de russiã.
00:18O device é, na verdade, um Yolka Interceptor Drone,
00:20um russiã-developpão-védio, designado para atingir pequenos aéreos.
00:24It é lançado por um operador de apenas 200 km por hora e tem um range de 5 km.
00:32Unlike a missile, Yolka drones carry no explosivo warhead.
00:36They destroy their target through direct impact, a so-called kinetic kill.
00:41So, se a Yolka não tem explosivo warhead, como a target aparece para explodir?
00:46In reality, a blast é mais provavelmente causada por a drone.
00:50That is also a potential weakness.
00:52David Batchi, a senior researcher in aerodynamics at the University of Oxford,
00:57says that systems relying on direct impact can be less effective against larger or more robust targets.
01:03Ukraine has comparable systems, including the Sting, designed to intercept Shahhead-type attack drones.
01:10And according to research engineer Hiette de Kubeur,
01:12these interceptors may be cheap, but they are not always reliable.
01:15Both sides also rely on many of the same components, making crucial drone parts harder to source.
01:22The video was filmed by the Vaha battalion, a subunit of Spetsnaz-Ahmat,
01:26which is under the command of the Russian Defense Ministry
01:28and made up of volunteers from Chichinia and personal train at the Russian University of Spetsnaz.
01:34An expert told us that Ahmat subunits are typically named after their commanders,
01:39with Vaha likely serving as a call sign.
01:41He added that the unit had been deployed to the Karikiv front in northeastern Ukraine, near the Russian border.
