Los drones llamados ‘The Punisher’, se est\u00e1n utilizando para atacar el almacenamiento de combustible, los suministros de municiones y las estaciones de guerra electr\u00f3nica, y todo sin ning\u00fan riesgo. Eugene Bulatsev, un ingeniero del dise\u00f1ador ucraniano UA-Dynamics, le dijo a The Times que los drones el\u00e9ctricos estaban ‘cambiando el juego’ y que ya hab\u00edan completado hasta 60 misiones ‘exitosas’ desde el comienzo de la invasi\u00f3n rusa. Atacan las l\u00edneas de suministro hasta 50 km detr\u00e1s de las l\u00edneas enemigas.<\/p>\n
Ukraine is delivering a heavy and stealthy blow to Russian invaders with a fleet of drones that are taking out supply lines up to 50km behind enemy lines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The drones, aptly named ‘The Punisher’, are being used to target fuel storage, ammunition supplies and electronic warfare stations – and all without any risk to civillians.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Eugene Bulatsev, an engineer with the\u00a0Ukrainian\u00a0designer UA-Dynamics,\u00a0told The Times<\/a>\u00a0that the electric drones were ‘game-changing’ – and had already completed up to 60 ‘successful’ missions since the beginning of the Russian invasion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThis is the cheapest and easiest way to deliver a punch from a long distance, without risking civilian lives,” he said.<\/p>\n The small, silent, unmanned planes have a tiny 2.2-metre wingspan and can carry up to three explosives to wipe out troops and vehicles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Manned by a laptop on the ground, they can reach up to 396 meters in the air and are accompanied by a smaller drone – called a Spectre – that flies with The Punisher to identify targets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Bulatsev\u00a0told The Sun\u00a0<\/a>that the Punisher’s secret weapon is its ‘stealth capability’.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cIt\u2019s relatively small and light enough to be undetectable to radar and you can\u2019t see or hear it once it\u2019s airborne which makes it a nightmare on the battlefield.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cWhat\u2019s more, it can drop three bombs at a time or hit three seperate targets, then return to base to be reloaded and sent back into battle within minutes.<\/p>\n \u201cWe Ukrainians recognised that we needed a weapon like this having faced so much firepower for so long and have developed and improved it ourselves for six years.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A group of veterans decided to launch UA-Dynamics following agitation by pro-Russian groups in the Donbas region in 2014.<\/p>\n As well as The Punisher and its successful campaigns against Russian forces – the details of which, remain classified for obvious reasons – Ukrainian forces also have access to about 20 Turkish drones, the Bayraktar TB2,\u00a0Business Insider reported.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Ukraine would have also benefitted from the deployment of its all-terrain drone, Peacekeeper, that\u00a0passed factory tests<\/a>\u00a0just a few months ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
