The Russian authorities are showing a serious level of concern about Ukraine’s successful use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and the fact that there are virtually no inaccessible places in Russia within a radius of more than 1,000 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. According to OBOZREVATEL‘s sources, Moscow has developed instructions in case our UAVs are attacked because of concerns about damage to the equipment that will be used in the May 9 parade.
The OBOZREVATEL editorial office has copies of the relevant documents – instructions, the procedure for forming a mechanized column and the calculation of personnel. The instruction was issued to the operator of the Silok-01 radio suppression complex in case of “detection of a UAV on the territory of the parade square.”
If a UAV is detected on the control channel, the operator sends a command via the Air 88 radio, reports the characteristics of the aircraft to the chief of staff of the mechanized convoy, and requests permission to suppress it. After receiving permission, the operator switches the system to the jamming mode in the specified range and at the frequencies of satellite navigation systems within 5 minutes
It says in the instructions.
It is especially emphasized that in case of detection of a drone, it is necessary to report to the FSB authorities. The instruction also includes the phone number of Lieutenant Colonel Litvinov, who should be called.
According to the documents, more than 40 Russian tanks will take part in the parade, including twelve T-72s, twelve T-80s, twelve T-90s, and five Armats, as well as ten Msta-S howitzers, eight Iskander missile systems, eight S-400 air defense systems, and about a hundred different armored personnel carriers and combat vehicles.
It is also known that Russia has decided to close Red Square to the public for 2 weeks due to preparations for the parade. Moscow also decided to cancel the traditional parade on May 1. They were afraid to hold it because of the “increased level of terrorist threat.”
