针对俄罗斯最新型“天竺葵”（Geran）无人机的拦截战，其速度似乎已超越了一级方程式赛车或子弹头列车。周一，为乌克兰军队提供物资的志愿者组织谢尔希·普里图拉慈善基金会（Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation）发布了乌克兰方面的最新报告，强调了这种极高的拦截速度。该基金会发布了一段热成像视频，画面显示一架无人机在云层上方接近另一架无人系统。
The drone battle to take down Russia's latest Gerans looks to be moving at speeds faster than Formula 1 cars or bullet trains. The latest Ukrainian report to highlight such extreme speeds came from the Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation, a volunteer organization that supplies Ukraine's military, on Monday. The foundation posted thermal footage shot from a drone approaching another uncrewed system above the clouds.
目标的外形与俄罗斯的“天竺葵-5”（Geran-5）非常相似，这是一种单向攻击无人机，其外观和许多特性都与巡航导弹类似。摄像机不断拉近与“天竺葵-5”的距离，几乎就要追上时视频便戛然而止——这是拦截成功或接近成功的典型迹象。该基金会写道：“这架无人机在飞行速度为每小时425公里、高度超过3公里的情况下被摧毁。”
The shape of the target closely resembles the Geran-5, a Russian one-way attack drone that resembles and shares many characteristics with cruise missiles. The camera closes the distance on the Geran-5, almost reaching it before the footage cuts off — a typical indicator of a successful or near-successful interception. "The drone was destroyed while flying at 425 kmph, at an altitude of more than 3 km," the foundation wrote.
这大约相当于每小时264英里，速度快到可以在不到一秒钟的时间内跨越一个足球场的长度。该基金会表示，这段视频是由乌克兰第1020防空导弹炮兵团的一个小组拍摄的，该团驻扎在乌克兰中部的波尔塔瓦地区。他们补充说，该部队使用了一种“专门为”喷气式无人机设计的拦截无人机。乌克兰情报部门曾表示，“天竺葵-5”被描述为伊朗“卡拉尔”（Karrar）无人机的俄罗斯版本，其最高时速可达每小时373英里，是其所有单向攻击无人机中速度最快的一款。
That's about 264 mph, fast enough to cross the length of a football field in less than a second. The foundation said the footage was filmed by a crew from Ukraine's 1020th Anti-Aircraft Missile and Artillery Regiment, which is based in the central Ukrainian region of Poltava. The unit had used a new interceptor drone that was "designed specifically" for jet-powered drones, it added. Ukrainian intelligence has said that the Geran-5, described as a Russian version of the Iranian Karrar drone, can reach a top speed of 373 mph, making it the fastest among its one-way attack drones.
尽管此次报告的拦截速度为每小时264英里，比其最高时速慢了不少，但这一速度对于旨在实现低成本和大规模生产的乌克兰拦截无人机而言，仍是一项新的作战成就。例如，一级方程式赛车有史以来创下的最高速度纪录，是由一辆经过改装的本田F1赛车在陆地速度纪录尝试中创下的，时速为246.9英里。此次报告的拦截速度也超过了日本闻名世界的子弹头列车——新干线，其运行速度为每小时200英里。乌克兰官员去年年底也曾报告过类似的飞行速度成就，但当时并未在实战中进行记录。
Though the reported interception was much slower at 264 mph, the speed is a new combat achievement for Ukrainian interceptor drones, which are designed to be cheaper and mass-producible. The fastest speed ever clocked by a Formula 1 car, for example, was 246.9 mph in a land-speed record attempt by a modified Honda F1 car. The reported interception was also faster than Japan's world-famous bullet train, the Shinkansen, which reaches speeds of 200 mph. Ukrainian officials reported similar speed achievements late last year, though these weren't recorded in combat.
2024年12月，时任乌克兰数字化转型部长的米哈伊洛·费多罗夫表示，一架拦截无人机在特种电机的推动下达到了400公里/小时（约248英里/小时）的速度。乌克兰拦截无人机于2024年底因对抗俄罗斯“见证者”无人机而声名鹊起，通常采用螺旋桨驱动的四旋翼设计，形状如子弹般流线型。但为应对涡喷发动机版“见证者”及攻击无人机，近期涌现的新型设计也开始采用喷气发动机。
In December, Mykhailo Fedorov, who was Ukraine's digital transformation minister at the time, said an interceptor drone had reached a speed of 400 kmph, or about 248 mph, with a special motor. Ukrainian interceptor drones, which rose to prominence as a counter to the Russian Shahed in late 2024, have typically been propeller-driven quadcopters shaped like bullets. But recent designs emerging to battle turbojet Shaheds and attack drones have begun to feature jet engines, too.
周一报道的拦截行动使用哪种类型尚不清楚。乌克兰国防部表示，正在对至少四种拦截无人机进行实地测试，包括一种通过弹射器发射的固定翼无人机。主要拦截无人机制造商“野蜂”也发布了其最新型号“Sting-S”追击喷气动力无人机的画面。上周，该公司告诉《商业内幕》，“Sting-S”是一种改进型四旋翼拦截无人机。
It's unclear which type was used in the interception reported on Monday. Ukraine's defense ministry said that it has been field-testing at least four types of interceptor drones, including a winged drone that's launched via catapult. The Wild Hornets, a major interceptor manufacturer, has also been releasing footage of its newest interceptor, the Sting-S, chasing down jet-powered drones. Last week, the firm told Business Insider that the Sting-S is a modified quadcopter-type interceptor.
