Judging by the way the battery is set up with also a compressed gas cilinder, it can't be easy, which could explain the high failure rate.
The War in the Ukraine
- Thread starter SampanViking
- Start date
I don't think the battery would be a major issue. It is designed to be replaceable on the field, you'd only need to jerry rig batteries if you had supply issues. It wouldn't explain why newer ATGM have been failing as well.
I'm sure it's down to a lack of training. They are being handed out to everyone. I remember the picture of a Ukrainian squad where each person had an ATGM as well as a rifle. If they're being handed out like that it's no wonder.

These will turn coat big time to protect their interest... if Russias don't invade the west, it will be a tug controlled country.
Hmmm so this thing now basically an SRBM.
If a lot of them start coming and it's becoming a problem, Russian can put their UAV on pause for one day or two and jamming them big time, depleting the stock rapidly.
The concern on these small drones are they're long ranged and extremely small. a real air defense challenge. The thing now if they are smart enough to find target on its own.. jamming will likely be futile.
According to a review by USNI, Moskva was "blind" at the time of the attack: 
According to various , if its radar and weapon systems had been operating nominally, the ship would've easily swatted those two slow flying targets.

So it was a repeat of the INS Hanit incident?.
