Turkey's "attack drone intercept system" will be put into practical application in 2022 (Sato Jen)-individual-Yahoo! Journalism

Turkish military companies Havelsan and Transvaro have jointly developed the attack UAV interception system "Fedai". Strive for commercial use at the beginning of 2022. Experiments have also been carried out, and it can also shoot down drones 5 kilometers away. After detecting the high-altitude attack on the UAV, the UAV interception system can stop the function of the UAV through the laser beam. In addition, drones can be launched to blow up high-altitude attacks on drones. It is equipped with so-called "soft kiill (Soft Kiill)" and "Hard Kill".

A large group of UAVs attacking deep into the ground from high altitude is a major threat, and the psychological impact and destructive power caused by the enemy array as the target is also huge. And the cost of drones is not high, so even if it is not a big country, terrorists can buy it, and the attackers will reduce the risk of injury to human soldiers and terrorists, so it is advantageous and beneficial to the attackers. Therefore, the development and countermeasures of UAV interception system are very important not only in Turkey, but also in the defense of all countries.

Turkey is also actively developing attack drones.

Turkey has made progress not only in the interception system of drones, but also in the development of military drones. Many neighboring countries also export Turkish-made military drones. And in many conflicts, attack drones developed by Turkish military companies have been used. Also available to Azerbaijan, Ukraine and Qatar. Turkish drones were also used in the 2020 military conflict over Azerbaijan and Armenia's disputed Nagorno Karabakh, helping Azerbaijan gain an advantage. Turkish military companies are not only committed to the development of attack drones, but also focus on the development of such a drone interception system, covering a wide range of areas from attack to defense.

In addition, during the fighting in Libya in March 2020, Turkish-made attack drones such as the Kargu-2 may have tracked soldiers to carry out attacks, as reported by the United Nations Security Council panel of experts in March 2021. It is not clear whether any soldiers have been killed. Kamikaze drones are operated by human soldiers in remote areas, so attacks will be judged by humans. When attacking, the weapon equipped with AI (artificial intelligence) to judge the target is called autonomous killing weapon (Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems:LAWS) without entering the human judgment. British media independently reported that this is the first time in the actual conflict to use autonomous anti-personnel weapons to attack the case.

Attack drones, also known as "Kamikaze Drone", "Suicide Drone" and "Kamikaze Strike". Once the target is identified, the UAV will go deep into the target, blow up the target, and be lethal. For the Japanese, some people will be disgusted with the attack drones calling themselves "kamikaze", but "kamikaze drones" are a common term in Europe, the United States and the Middle East, and are commonly used by both media and military enterprises.

A large group of "kamikaze drones" go deep into the ground from high altitude to attack, which is a major threat, and the psychological impact and destructive power of the enemy array as the target is also huge. The cost of drones is not high, so they can be bought even if they are not a big country, and the attackers are beneficial because the risk of injury to human soldiers is reduced.
