VIDEO 5 Most Mysterious Russian Weapons Captured in Ukraine
Dark5 see
https://ediovision.blogspot.com/search?q=drone n march 2022 as the fighting on
ukrainian streets raged a twitter
account at ua weapons reported that
ukrainian soldiers had recovered a
bizarre container which had seemingly
been abandoned by occupying russian
troops
[Music]
in addition to this report ua weapons
posted several photographs of the
mysterious object which naturally was
presumed to be a weapon of some sort
whatever it was it showed signs of
damage and had clearly seen some combat
action
upon examination of the photographs the
exterior of the box was seen to be
comparable to a small shipping container
but the interior told a very different
story
the contents of the box revealed it to
be a component of a krasuka iv
electronic warfare system specifically
the command module
ominously krasuka translates to baladana
or deadly nightshade in russian
as a ground-based electronic warfare
system its primary role is to intercept
and scramble airborne radio signals
radars and reconnaissance satellites
the krasuka 4 is recognized as a
particularly powerful jamming instrument
one which is capable of interfering with
signals over long distances and even in
some cases physically damaging
electronic equipment
the specific command module in question
was found lying on its side deep in
ukrainian territory and partially
obscured from view by tree branches
making it unlikely to be seen by aerial
reconnaissance
it remains unclear whether this
concealment represents a deliberate
attempt by the russians to hide this
container for fear of surrendering
valuable intel to ukraine and its allies
or whether this is simply where the unit
came to rest following an accident or
conflict
[Music]
it's also unclear what happened to the
rest of the ewu system and why such a
vital piece of equipment which appears
to be in reasonably good condition was
simply abandoned by russian forces
[Music]
further adding to the strangeness to
this discovery the krasuka 4 has
especially long-range jamming abilities
raising the question what was this
command module doing so deep in
ukrainian territory in the first place
[Music]
since this command module may contain
secrets and intel regarding russian war
technologies and because of the
suspicious circumstances under which it
was found
the unit was recovered and sent to the
united states for examination

MYSTERY WARHEAD
mystery warhead
[Music]
in its invasion of ukraine russia has
employed an array of weapons some of
which are unlike anything that the
western world has seen
in march 2022 ukrainian soldiers and
civilians alike began to discover small
dart-like missiles buried in the earth
and concrete around areas that had been
shelled
approximately one foot long with an
orange tail these projectiles were
clearly not intended to deliver
devastating payloads by themselves and
those that were recovered showed no sign
of explosive damage
unofficially the missile was nicknamed
9b899
taken from figures discovered on the
plastic tail section of the objects
when people began to speculate about the
missiles on social media many assumed
that they were bomblets from cluster
weapons but this was revealed not to be
the case
simultaneously ukraine and its allies
were examining photographs of the
russian iskander m missile and
attempting to identify the purpose of
circular caps found in the back of the
missiles
when user collective awareness to uxo
took to twitter and reached out for help
in the identification of the previously
unseen 9b899 it was suggested that the
missiles may be potential decoy devices
the purpose of a decoy in the context of
aerial warfare is as a countermeasure to
jamming systems which are designed to
scramble signals and intercept missiles
therefore by deploying decoy devices at
the correct moment the missile vastly
improved its chances of reaching the
primary target
it was eventually confirmed that the
circular caps seen at the back of
iskander missiles are for the storage
and deployment of decoy penetration aids
and that they correspond to the diameter
of the 9b899 darts
putting that information together it
became clear that the decoy munitions
which were being found had in fact come
from the tail end of the iskander
missiles being used to hammer ukrainian
troops and towns
however while this explanation seemed to
make sense something didn't quite add up
as ukraine doesn't have the capabilities
to intercept iskandar missiles in the
first place it remains a mystery as to
why russia would use these new decoy
systems and potentially reveal their
technological secrets
it represents a strange and curious
tactical decision
one which we are yet to understand

MYSTERY DRONE CRASHES IN CROATIA
mystery drone crashes in croatia
[Music]
one night in early march residents of
croatia's capital city zagreb were
awoken by the ear splitting sound of an
explosion
emerging from their homes locals found a
crater scattered with debris
fortunately nobody was hurt but
questions were raised
what had caused such an explosion and
was it something to do with the fighting
over a thousand kilometers away in
ukraine
croatia is after all uninvolved in the
conflict and it doesn't even share a
border with ukraine
scouring the wreckage officials came to
believe that they were looking at the
remains of a soviet-era tu-141 aircraft
a drone typically employed by the
ukrainian army for reconnaissance
however upon closer inspection explosive
traces and bomb components were found
fortunately as it crashed into soft
earth the explosion had detonated
underground thus minimizing damage to
the surrounding area
zagreb's mayor thomaslav tamashevich
commented that it was quote amazing that
no one was hurt and noted the
unprecedented nature of the occurrence
it was promised that an investigation
into the origins of the mysterious and
potentially deadly drone would take
place
while ukraine is the only country that
still officially uses these 1970s soviet
drones the ukrainian ambassador to
croatia insisted that the drone did not
belong to the ukrainian military and
markings found on the wreck would later
confirm this
one source hypothesized that the drone
may have been deployed by russian troops
and programmed to fly to the yarun
region of ukraine
according to this theory a simple gps
programming error led the drone to the
similar sounding jaroon neighborhood of
zagreb
however this explanation seemed too
simple too convenient for others
even more baffling than the drone's
origin is the question of how despite
being unsophisticated and outdated while
also weighing six tons and carrying 120
kilogram bomb it successfully navigated
the airspaces of three nato countries
without being detected or intercepted
to this day
true origin to the drone as well as its
methods of evasion remain unknown

as russian troops closed in on kiev the
capital and central stronghold of
ukraine's defense as well as the main
location of president zielinski the
potential for using weaponry with
shorter ranges and devastating
capabilities came into play
amongst russian munitions is the kubla
kamikaze drone also known as a loitering
munition which is manufactured by a
subsidiary of the infamous kalashnikov
company
[Music]
a loitering munition is an aerial weapon
whose purpose is to passively and
discreetly linger nearby its target
until the perfect moment to strike
arises
in the case of russia's invasion of
ukraine and the use of loitering
munitions in kiev it is suspected that
this perfect moment would be when high
profile individuals are in the vicinity
in other words
assassination
[Music]
despite having a wingspan of just 1.2
meters this brutal device can carry a
three kilogram payload at up to 130
kilometers per hour and when it reaches
its destination it employs advanced ai
technology to identify its target
but even modern weapons such as these
have weaknesses
the drone's flight time is limited to
just 30 minutes rendering it suitable
for short-range warfare only
[Music]
in early march 2022 one particular kubla
drone was shot down and recovered by
ukrainian forces
disturbingly upon examination the drone
was found to be housing approximately
one kilogram of c4 explosives surrounded
by metal ball bearings
the potential devastation of such
weapons combined with their localized
accuracy and ability to identify
specific targets potentially makes them
one of the deadliest devices in the
skies
t-80um2 black eagle prototype tank
T-80UM2 BLACK EAGLE PROTOTYPE TANK
there have been a few occurrences of
russian forces deploying experimental
and unique weapons in their invasion of
ukraine including novel decoy systems
and rare armored vehicles
when exploring the debris of a skirmish
on march 17 2022 the ukrainian military
discovered that they destroyed one of
these an unfamiliar tank
after matching the debris to photographs
taken at russian warfare equipment
parades it was confirmed and reported by
the oryx blog who have been recording
material losses in the russian war on
ukraine
that the ruined vehicle was in fact a
one-of-a-kind t-80 um2 prototype tank
the t-80 um-2 is a completely unique
vehicle known to be part of a new tank
development project along with another
rare machine named the black eagle with
which it has a great deal in common
photographic evidence of the russian
loss clearly shows the prototype tank
with a burnt out hull and its turret
completely detached
[Music]
this particularly deadly tank was being
considered to take the place of the
russian army's main battle tank in which
case it would be mass-produced
[Music]
it is not entirely clear how the
ukrainian defenders managed to destroy
this state-of-the-art war machine which
is fitted with radar systems reactive
armor and even the drugs ii active
protection system which spots close
threats such as anti-tank rockets
encounters them using explosive
munitions
however the real mystery lies in
russia's motive for sending such a
prototype into the fray of battle as
one-offs and unique or experimental
weapons are rarely used in practical
scenarios
[Music]
some believe that russia was simply
assessing the performance of the t-80
um2 in a real-life setting whereas
others have suggested that the hasty
decision to send a one-off prototype
into war
may indicate that russia had lost larger
amounts of their traditional weaponry
than expected in the early parts of the
war
whatever the truth behind russia's
mysterious motive for deploying an
experimental prototype the tank appears
to have failed the test
