⚑️At least two strikes by AN-196 "Liutyi" UAVs were recorded on VNIIR-Progress in Cheboksary.

Approximate distance from the contact line: 975 km.

Main areas of activity:

  • Navigation and transport equipment, specifically GNSS receivers and antennas, including the "Kometa" module β€” for GLONASS/GPS/Galileo systems of the same type used in UAVs and missiles ("Iskander-M," "Kalibr," etc.).

  • Production of automatic circuit breakers, contact and contactless equipment, relays β€” including for submarines (Project "Yasen-M").

  • Development of systems for shipbuilding, energy, and industry β€” including SDR, SCADA systems, and electric drives.

  • Design and manufacturing of electronic modules, applied computing and peripheral equipment, and ASIC components.

The facility also features its own research base and testing center.

Coordinates: 56.103301, 47.264584

Wow, the drone was much larger than I expected.

These are basically modern V1 glide bombs, barely a drone more like a plane-missile.

Better get the Spitfires out to tip the wings.

If you have dominant air superiority (including against small fpv drones) a trainer turboprop with basic machine guns would probably be a very easy quick and cheap way lol.

Something like a Super Tucano

Not for contested airspace, more bulk destruction of a wave of drones that have penetrated deep behind your frontlines and ideally need to be downed with cost effective means. The easiest way to lead a target with a machine gun is when you are on your targets 6 lol. I imagine one of these could chew through an obscene amount of drones in one flight.

I bet there are already unmanned variants of super tucano too.
