In the autumn of 2020, during the Six-Week War in Nagorno-Karabakh, the main attention of most Russian and Western experts was focused on the topic of gaining air supremacy achieved by Azerbaijan with the help of Israeli and Turkish-made unmanned aerial vehicles. The author of the article does not dispute the high effectiveness of the combat use of the Bayraktar TB 2. He seeks to draw attention to other reasons for the defeat of the Armenian armed forces. First of all, they were not ready for mobilization deployment. The degradation of the mobilization apparatus and the general inattention of the Armenian leadership to the problem of strategic concentration is difficult to explain only by the systematic underfunding of the army caused by economic difficulties. In recent years, Armenian generals and politicians have been recklessly resting on the laurels of the last victory and did not believe in the seriousness of Azerbaijan’s intentions to retake Nagorno-Karabakh.

Methods Of Control

In modern warfare, the information component is crucial for both sides of the conflict. Donetsk and Luhansk regions have become a kind of bridgehead for testing and application in the operation of unmanned aerial vehicles of various dimensions and functional purposes, the most common of which are small reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles. Dozens of enemy vehicles are gathering information about the location of the Ukrainian military. To date, no state is ready to withstand planned attacks by unmanned aerial vehicles. Traditional air defense weapons are designed for large and long-range targets, while the modern line of drones consists of nano-, micro- and mini-devices flying at low altitudes. A comparative analysis of modern means of counteracting unmanned aerial vehicles and conclusions about the possibility of their use in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The newest means of destruction of unmanned aerial vehicles of the leading countries of the world are considered. The issue of the possibility of blocking the work of enemy drones is covered in zones (areas) of hostilities. Ways to increase the effectiveness of small - scale unmanned aerial vehicles are proposed. Priorities in the implementation of programs for the development of modern domestic means of destruction of unmanned aerial vehicles can be considered the use of means of interception or destruction by electronic countermeasures. The relevance of the study lies in the analysis of the main available methods of control with unmanned aerial vehicles, development of perspective approaches and acquaintance with modern achievements and directions of development of means of struggle against drones applied by the enemy.

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.

Stated Problem

This study offers a solution to one of the problems that arise in the routine practice of the Head managers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Ministry of Defence – budgetary units when making management decisions. Namely, the search for the most economical (cost saving) option for placing an order between several potential contractors to save budgetary funds, minimise possible risks of exceeding the customer's costs, and organisation of rational spending of financial resources. The purpose of the study is to determine the mechanisms for rapid replenishment of losses of defence products due to the early distribution of defence orders among manufacturers with savings in budgetary funds. To solve the stated problem, an approach was proposed using a statistical method of quantitative risk analysis based on two indicators: the probability of savings and the risk of not receiving the expected savings. An example of using the proposed approach is given for two alternative options for placing an order for unmanned aerial vehicles to create joint aviation groups between three potential contractors. The proposed mechanism for summarising calculations in the final table, acceptable for analysis and allows making the final decision in the management link. In contrast to the approaches used in developed economies, the proposed approach takes into account the capabilities of the manufacturer in terms of production volumes and short deadlines for the production of defence products. Notably, the approach in question can be applied if there are more than two alternative options for the distribution of orders and for more than three potential contractors
