Die Russen bekaempfen anscheinend Drohnen der Ukrainer erfolgreich auch mit Kamikazedrohnen ?
Russian Yolka drone smashes Ukraine UAVs with kinetic precision
By Boyko Nikolov on May 16, 2025
Quelle:On May 16, 2025, a video surfaced on Telegram showcasing a novel Russian anti-drone system, named “Yolka” or “Volka,” in action against aerial targets in Ukraine. Filmed in September 2024, the footage depicts a soldier launching the compact drone, which swiftly intercepts and destroys an enemy unmanned aerial vehicle through a kinetic collision, acting as a kamikaze.

This demonstration, attributed to Russian forces operating in the ongoing conflict, signals a potential shift in air defense tactics, prioritizing cost-effective solutions to counter the growing threat of inexpensive drones.
As the war in Ukraine continues to drive rapid technological advancements, the Yolka’s debut raises questions about the future of air defense systems in an era dominated by mass-produced unmanned platforms.

The Yolka, described by its proponents in the Telegram post, is a specialized kinetic interceptor designed to neutralize enemy drones without relying on explosive warheads. Instead, it uses high-speed collisions to dismantle the structural integrity of its targets, a method likened to the “shoot-and-forget” principle of man-portable air defense systems.
The system’s compact design and ease of use reportedly allow frontline soldiers to deploy it with minimal training, making it a practical tool for dynamic battlefield conditions. Its integration of artificial intelligence for target acquisition and tracking, combined with exceptional speed and maneuverability, is said to yield a high success rate in engagements.
While specific performance metrics such as range, speed, or production costs remain undisclosed, the Yolka’s reliance on kinetic energy rather than explosives enhances safety for ground personnel and simplifies logistics.
The emergence of the Yolka comes at a critical juncture in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, where drones have reshaped modern warfare. Ukraine has produced over one million first-person-view drones in 2024 alone, while Russia claims to manufacture 4,000 daily, with both sides aiming to scale production to three to four million units in 2025.
These drones, often costing as little as a few hundred dollars, have become ubiquitous, targeting everything from infantry to critical infrastructure. The sheer volume of drone attacks—Ukraine’s defense ministry reported hundreds in 2024, with cities like Nikopol enduring over 200 strikes—has exposed vulnerabilities in traditional air defense systems.
Expensive missile-based platforms, such as Russia’s S-400 or the U.S.-supplied Patriot, are designed to counter high-value targets like fighter jets or ballistic missiles, but their high-cost munitions are ill-suited for engaging swarms of cheap drones. A single Patriot missile, for instance, can cost upwards of $4 million, creating a stark economic asymmetry when pitted against a $500 drone.
The Yolka’s design addresses this challenge directly. By forgoing explosive payloads, it reduces production and operational costs, potentially allowing Russian forces to deploy it in large numbers without depleting expensive missile stockpiles.

Da hatte die SU auch guten Grund dafür !
Operation Unthinkable (Unternehmen Undenkbar) war der Name eines im Mai 1945 vom britischen Premierminister Winston Churchill in Auftrag gegebenen Kriegsplans, der die militärische Zurückwerfung der damaligen Sowjetunion und dann die Wiederherstellung eines formell unabhängigen Polens durch Großbritannien und die USA zum Ziel hatte.

Man muß das Wahre immer wiederholen, weil auch der Irrtum um uns her immer wieder gepredigt wird, und zwar nicht von einzelnen, sondern von der Masse. In Zeitungen und Enzyklopädien, auf Schulen und Universitäten, überall ist der Irrtum oben auf, und es ist ihm wohl und behaglich, im Gefühl der Majorität, die auf seiner Seite ist. - J.W. v. Goethe
