The presentation of the drone from the "Kalashnikov"

22
According to "Rossiyskaya Gazeta», At the International Exhibition of Armaments and Military Equipment IDEX-2017 in Abu Dhabi, a presentation of the Russian unmanned reconnaissance and surveillance complex of the aircraft type ZALA 421-16Е2 was held.

The development of the complex was carried out by the Kalashnikov concern and took two years. By the end of 2016, it was in pilot operation. To date, the UAV has made more 1000 sorties. In January 2017, it was approved for mass production. It will soon be delivered to customers.



ZALA 421-16EX2 has a small mass (within 7,5 kg). The duration of the flight of the UAV, equipped with an electric motor, is 4 hours. The launch is made from the hands of an elastic catapult. A built-in air damper protects the target load during landing. There is an automatic tracking module.

Standard equipment weighing 1,5 kg is represented by a day camera with 60-ti optical zoom and a thermal imager with 10-ti multiple optics. The complex is all-weather and all-day. The video information is transmitted in adverse weather conditions for a distance of at least 30 km. Operated by an operator within a radius of at least 50 km.

The built-in inertial system, radio range finder, self-diagnostic sensor unit provide complete autonomy of this drone. Even in case of loss of GPS/GLONASS satellite navigation, tasks are guaranteed. Retransmission of communications from one side to the other is provided, as well as the transmission and reception of voice and video messages, coordinates from ground groups equipped with special beacons and radio stations.

As a result, the ZALA 421-16Е2 drone will become a link for all-arms coordination and control of ground groups, robotic technology, conducting over-the-horizon reconnaissance and reconnaissance.

            Have you grabbed the tops and think that this is the limit of your worldview? Unmanned technology in Izhevsk has been around for more than a year, and the purpose of their products is very different. For mapping, it’s quite enough to monitor the situation. As far as I know, they do not provide for the installation of weapons

          Israel can sell a license from stupidity, you can’t buy a combat UAV. It must be coordinated with all combat systems and devices of our army. You can buy a platform for UAVs: an engine, a body ... sensors. And that's it. You can’t buy a brain.

        They are there. The creation of shock UAVs is impossible without the creation of combat information systems. We do not have such systems, and no one knows what it is even in the General Staff of the Ministry of Defense. How many times can this be repeated ... This applies to all robotic systems and drones. To do for each device its own individual system for collecting information and management can only .. stupid people, whose role we successfully perform .....

      More than two years ago, this drone was already mass-produced, which was not clear for the development of the concern; moreover, the UAV parameters are underestimated. It consists entirely of imported components. It reminds all of this Ukrainian style .... Is it coordinated with the Sagittarius complex, or carries out target designation for the SV Coalition or provides information to Andromeda D? Or maybe a toy again, just fly and shoot a movie in the record? ”So there was no technical task from the Moscow Region, and the military will get another shit, and they will continue to occupy the position of an outside observer .. who does not know what UAVs are for and in what system they should enter, and what kind of systems they are.

      What is the news about? such drones could well supply aircraft model mugs from the times of the USSR in tandem with radio engineering mugs.

        Because of this disregard for drones, Russia lagged behind in their development for a dozen years.

      Welcome all!
      The news pleased.
      But after reading all the comments above, instead of joy and pride in the Russian military-industrial complex, a feeling of shame and awkwardness appeared.
      The article itself is another praise of old news.
      This UAV today is SERIOUSLY AND DOES NOT IS RELEASED, how to use it in networks (military information, which is still missing) IN COMPLEX WITH OTHER MEANS OF INTELLIGENCE AND ATTACK - it is not clear, and there are many other things that specialists know, but no one is above (General Staff of the RF Ministry of Defense) doesn’t seem to listen to them ...

      In a word, another “loud cheers” for hat-making and empty bragging ...

      And the discord in the military-industrial complex continues further, we are all "still CAREFULLY riding on the Soviet stock of military equipment."

      There is NO MONEY in the country's economy itself, but "Nabuilina is constantly praised in the West!", And the "top leadership" of the country invites, asks, or beg investment from the West!
      And tens and hundreds of billions of Russian money remain in the West and every year new ones sail abroad !?
      But this money cannot be withdrawn and spent on the needs of the country today under Putin, but "our native aligarchs" stole it with hard entrepreneurial work ?!


      And the enemy abroad successfully creates new samples, tries and RELEASES SERIES.

      And in Russia, the power of everything "prevents the bankruptcy of another military factory in front of banks" by "optimizing" ...
      I do not want to talk about the salaries of workers, technicians, and engineers at the defense industry factories.

      Today's youth today have the goal of training and work - "sales manaher"! Engineer, technician, worker - it’s humiliating today and you will die of hunger, alas ?!

      Well, the role, opportunities and great help of the experienced OSOAVIAHIM, DOSAAF, technical creativity circles (radio, electronics, IT) are completely forgotten today, but is the Russian exam the peak of a new education ?!

      I don’t even want to ask the question: “UNTIL this mess in the country will continue?”, Because the answer, alas, is “BEFORE the complete collapse of Russia into parts and leasing of the territory to“ foreign partners “in the near future” ...

      Better late than never.

      When there were no drones in Russia they scolded, when they appeared, they again scolded for their presence, we don’t need to listen to anyone, but what we need to develop.

      The cost of a flight hour of a heavy shock UAV is 2 times higher than that of a manned vehicle.
      In addition, a satellite constellation is used to control the current generation of shock UAVs, which must be launched into orbit, updated, and serviced.

      The use of heavy UAVs in the form in which they now exist is not just economically impractical, it is economically disastrous.

      We are developing heavy aircraft with a different control principle. By the way, at one time the USSR was ahead of the head on this subject.
