TO THE ISSUE OF DESTRUCTION OF ICE COSTS ON THE RIVERS OF THE NORTH WITH THE APPLICATION OF THE MODULAR HELICOPTER SYSTEM VSM-1
Almost all northern rivers of Russia during the spring ice drift often form ice jams in the riverbed and the floods caused by them. To eliminate ice congestion, explosive methods, aerial bombing, mortar-artillery shelling, and icebreaker method are most often used today. To ensure an acceptable level of security for the population, territories of economic facilities, methods and means to combat ice congestion should be developed and improved. The most progressive in this area are conversion defense technologies. The technical and economic result is to increase the efficiency of ice blockage destruction, in a short time, preventing large floods. The method is carried out as follows. The aircraft, for example, a helicopter equipped with a geolocation and air torpedoes, probes the resulting mash to detect the location of the "lock" of the mash, then from the clean water section, below the mash along the river, produce torpedo fire at a given depth of the torpedo. The final solution to the method of destruction of ice congestion is the detonation of torpedo firing by small-sized helicopter torpedoes with the modular engine system ULZ-M, modernized for these purposes.
