The Russian Military Is Using Surveillance Blimps To Keep Eye On Donbass (Video)

File image.

The Russian military has begun to use surveillance aerostats to keep an eye on supply lines and hot fronts in the Donbass region.

On April 20, TV Zvezda aired a report showing a АVK-05 surveillance aerostat that was recently deployed over an unspecified part of Luhansk to enhance situation awareness and security measures in the region.

The AVK-05 aerostat can operate as high as 1,000 meters with an endurance of up to 75 hours. The aerostat is usually equipped with an electro-optical\thermal imaging system with an effective range of ten kilometers. Footage from the surveillance system can be directly relied to command centers.

The tactical aerostat is recommended to be deployed at a wind speed of no more than 15 meter per second. However, if necessary, it can be deployed at a wind speed of up to 25 meters per second.

The AVK-05 is easy to deploy and operate. The entire system is operated by six personnel and can be moved in two vehicles only.

The aerostat is reportedly being developed to support new payloads, like radar, communication relay and electronic warfare systems.

The Russian military has been using tactical surveillance aerostats like the AVK-05 to secure its bases in Syria, mainly Hmeimim Air Base in Lattakia, for several years now. These low-cost systems have been proven to be effective and reliable.

The use of aerostats in Donbass will lower reliance on drones in secure areas and provide the Russian military with better situation awareness around the clock.

Russia is so busy winning, it made a real breakthrough after being pushed out of north Ukraine.

Because what? Russia is planning on flying a vast transport dirigible across continents and oceans with flammable hydrogen as its lifting gas??!! Err, no. Then this particular example of history won’t repeat itself. That is some very obvious and unimaginative trolling right there. Which, ignores the last century of technical aviation developments. The Russian military have a modest sized, modern, aerostat, with camera systems attached, to operate as an efficient aerial surveillance platform. An eye in the sky, to be put up at short notice over own military lines. Quite a big difference in design, technology and purpose.

Putin's MASSIVE Balls, NATO's empty nutsack

More like Ukraine is totally losing and you just can’t handle it. Actually you know in the back of your mind that you will soon be DEAD. In the end it’s never going back to what it was. Thousands of Ukrop forces have surrendered and continue to surrender. Russia owns all the important real estate and all those industries will now be Nationalized and taken away from the Oligarchs running this war. So post all the dead bodies you want, it just shows that you’re a fucking degenerate pile of shit! The NeoCons have failed and NATO is NOT coming to help you, Hahahaha….

Coz an army that is winning anything blows up all its own bridges on its own territory.

Yeah right.

Ukie Losses are huge in this last week.

Even Zelensky publicly stated these losses are big.

Low cost and effective, why sacrifice multi-million dollar drones when you can use these that run a few tens of thousands?

thoughtful

The skies must be sufficiently safe to put these up.

Peter The Ungrateful

That is mentioned in the article as well: these things only get deployed in secured areas.

Russian armed forces are the only one on the planet earth of which USA is afraid. If you do not see it, I am afraid, you are either a first class ignorent or mentally retarted. If you can help it, stop polluting SF.

You’re forgetting Iran. Iran is the only country to send ballistic missiles into US bases after they were warned not too, they stolen USA vessels and kidnapped their sailors, they took the Middle East from USA, and have proven multiple times through IRGC and their allies (Hezbollah, Houthis, and Iraqi militias) that their technology can evade their American technology.

Iran is the most bold country towards Zionist hands down. Russia isn’t as bold because their interests don’t force them to do be so Bold, Iran has too if it wants to survive.

Nazi hans, the whole world is laughing over your brainless comments and stupidity.

HB_norica

So when Lockheed Martin builds them the USA uses them to protect their bases all over the world is it pathetic technology or just the Russian ones. Raytheon also make balloons specifically to protect against drones … do you find them funny as well?

Tom Sawyer

You obviously are not an engineer. This is a effective use of an existing solution for a contemporary problem. How to maintain constant aerial surveillance over own battlefield logistics lines. It is ingenious in its efficiency, the required power output to stay aloft for many hours is minimal, and the noise and heat signature is virtually non existent, whilst it can linger virtually motionless over a position for very long periods. It is also intended for used well BEHIND own battlefront lines. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel (or rather aviation history) to simply put a stationary surveillance camera in the sky at a great height.

By spending Russia is actually 4th military in world. Behind 1USA-2China and 3India. yet for a far smaller budget Russian Federation packs a big punch. Russian military budget is not that much more than UK, yet UK cannot even afford to field new US sourced jets or build new naval vessels. Russia builds these things themselves, for reasonable costs, and with far greater relative efficiencies and outcomes.

The whole world is laughing at you’re momma for producing such a fucking imbecile.

well they wont be laughing for long will they?

JerryDrakeJr

Your problem is that you like to shit a lot, but don’t shit on my behalf. “The whole world…”!? Which world map do you use? The edition of the Roman Empire from the third century BC? Your “whole world” is NATO countries and several poltrons such as Japan, Australia and South Korea, and that would be a total of about 20% of the world’s population. The remaining 80% are on the Russian side … The last one who did not choose his words wisely did not return from Sparta. Do you want to end up the same way?

With your arse up in the air, hoping for a nice Russian man to fork you.. That’s pathetic

Well done Russia and Great idea. It is especially good that it is being used correctly, not as a routine method of spying on civilians by corrupt governments.

Ingenious, and that is why simply comparing numbers like military budgets does not tell the whole story. I am more and more convinced that the Russian military may indeed be superior to the US forces, because they spend their money wisely.

The US, on the other hand, spends an awful lot of money on expensive stuff, that does not work properly – F-35, anyone? – or, it is less efficient than expected and difficult to maintain – F-22, anyone? Or what was that about a Reaper drone that costs some $30 Million? You get a Su-34 for that kind of money. The MIC of the US is inherently corrupt and a racket, so the government pays very inflated prices. Plus, there is an incentive in offering the more expensive development projects.

Off course. War is war. Only stupid fuck idiot like you can think otherwise. Meantime hundreds of ukrop banderiputas criminals are buried in mass graves because Kiev Reich don’t want them. And I have good news for you now: TODAY the 25.000 Ukrop KIA is reached.

southfrontfan

The media insists that the Russian offensive “has stalled”. Is that what you call it when your opponent captures an area the size of the UK in less than 3 weeks or when all your air and naval assets have been obliterated or when your Command-and-Control centers have gone up in smoke or when most of your combat troops are either encircled by Russian forces or fleeing to locations west of the Dnieper River? Is that what “stalled” looks like?
