Bryansk, 105 km from Ukraine, is a logistical hub for the Russian War on Ukraine. I’m seeing speculation that the largest oil pipeline to Europe may be on fire. Most reports say this is two oil depots ablaze. Whatever the case, what caused the fires?
The Bayraktar TB2 is a medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) capable of remotely controlled or autonomous flight operations. It is manufactured by the Turkish company Baykar Makina Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş., primarily for the Turkish Armed Forces. The aircraft are monitored and controlled by an aircrew in a ground control station, including weapons employment. The development of the UAV has been largely credited to Selçuk Bayraktar, a former MIT graduate student.
Performance
Maximum speed: 120 knots (220 km/h) 137 mph
Cruise speed: 70 knots (130 km/h)
Range: up to 4,000 km (2,200 nmi) 2,500 miles
Communication range: line-of-sight propagation, < 300 kilometres (190 miles)
Service ceiling: 25,000 feet (7,600 m)
Operational altitude: 18,000 feet (5,500 m)
Endurance: 27 hours
Bryansk is 65 miles from the Ukrainian border. There is Ukraine-held territory well within 100 miles of Bryansk. This is within the capabilities of the drone.
