ANALYSIS OF THE PROBLEMS, WHICH ARISING IN THE PROCESS OF FIGHTING WITH DRONES DURING THE STORING OF THE MISSILES AND AMMUNITION IN THE FIELD ARTILLERY WAREHOUSES

Abstract

Considering that there are promising ways to combat unmanned licensed vehicles for other field warehouses stored in combat situations. The experience of conducting the Joint Forces Operation (ATO) in eastern Ukraine, as well as the negative cases that have recently occurred in the field artillery depots and stationary arsenals (bases) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, shows that the system of storage of missiles and ammunition in the field artillery depots of The Ukrainian forces are outdated and need major upgrading and modernization. Based on the analysis of the provision of troops with missiles and ammunition, for the period from 2015 to 2016 for the destruction of ammunition storage facilities, both stationary (arsenals, ammunition storage bases of the Armed Forces of Ukraine) and field depots of the units of Incorporated Forces effectively uses unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The most illustrative examples of UAVs are: fire and explosion at the field warehouse of ammunition storage at the combined RAW field warehouses (Svatovo, Lugansk region) on October 29, 2015; attempt to carry out a diversion at the arsenal of storage of missiles and ammunition (Balakley) with the help of UAV December 26, 2015 (dropping packages with incendiary mixture that could not be extinguished by ordinary fire extinguishing means); fire on the territory of the munitions field warehouse on February 18, 2016 of a military unit located near the settlement of Grodivka of Donetsk region (use by a UAV enemy, who in turn dropped the packet with incendiary mixture on the ammunition stack); the fire that occurred on February 17, 2016 as a result of the dropping of incendiary and fragmentation ammunition from the UAV over the rear control post of the military unit (Zaporizhzhia region, Kuibyshevsky district, Vershina village); fire that resulted from dropping explosive devices from UAVs on February 18, 2016 (Cherkasy village, Dnipropetrovsk region). The enemy still uses unmanned aerial vehicles to destroy the ammunition of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The system of storage of missiles and ammunition in field artillery depots is a set of forces and means, as well as measures of organizational, economic, legal, social and scientific-technical character, aimed at maintaining stable functioning and preventing explosions and fires and losses from them in storage sites and explosives.
