Russian Defense Ministry plans further purchases from 2019 drones "Forpost", improved taking into account combat experience in Syria and assembled entirely from Russian components, said Yuri Borisov, deputy head of the defense department.

In Syria, "Outpost" has proven itself from the best side. Therefore, we are making plans for the next decade to use these complexes. Naturally, they will be upgraded. It is possible that new information tools will be added, meaning the locator

At the same time, he thanked the employees of the plant, who were constantly at the Hmeimim airbase in Syria, where they provided maintenance for the UAVs.

UZGA put the troops around 30 complexes "Outpost", but they were still assembled from imported components. By order of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the plant carried out work on import substitution and we are discussing with it plans to order a new contract with 2019 of the year with one hundred percent localization. Thus, the "Forpost" will be entirely Russian.
- added Borisov.

Reconnaissance unmanned complex "Outpost" includes three aircraft and ground control station. The mass of one aircraft is 500 kilograms. He is capable of reconnaissance from a height of five kilometers during 16 hours at a distance of 400 kilometers, reports RIA News

      But aren’t ours used there? The Israelis seemed to us as soon as the gliders without filling were licensed, and everything else ours and it seemed like something was from Belarus electronically.

        Not. The entire production package was handed over. It is possible that it was modernized.

    Not often Russia pleases with such words Israeli technology, and even the drone is not the most advanced to date.



    By order of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the plant completed import substitution work and we are discussing with it plans to order a new contract from 2019 with one hundred percent localization. Thus, "Outpost" will be entirely Russian

    And they also test their own behind the scenes! I saw by chance, in the distance ours could be a strike, with 4 screw engines, two per wing, and the wings are long, and flew quickly and silently!

        Nobody argues, but you won’t go far on the products of the day before yesterday. It’s definitely not worth buying a license for “junk” and resting on our laurels ... alas, a bad habit. “Tyring” in Chinese, in my opinion, is more productive in acquiring new technologies.

          I agree. This complex has just been tested and mastered. But now there are already our competitors ... They will compare and decide in the future. In the meantime, it’s necessary to “cooperate with Israel somehow” ....

      I also attend such thoughts. It was possible to make the sides of the case at an angle, and the appearance is presentable and at the same time the area of ​​the reflecting surface will decrease.

        We also often proceed from this principle because it is impossible to embrace the immensity.

    A new one! nothing! fool
    Could not invent and build ... Once. It is necessary to build shopping centers. Sell ​​the raw materials of this territory - Russia. Is that all that capable of?
    Damn ... what, for 25 years of "development" and shit democracy your vasharasha has survived. She is only able to repeat Israeli planes.
    Yes! And what can, now a fragment of the Great USSR now! The country that once was in something the first or second in the world in avionics, aircraft design, leading in aircraft development and aircraft construction! THE USSR! could and created and IL-2, Tu-114, MiG-15, 17, 21 !! MIG -29! "Su" "M" "Yak" "An" "Be" ... Tu-160 and much much more!
    This is how it was necessary to kill the country ....
    Izral ... this is half of some sort of Astrakhan region! And the current "proud" Russia is buying ... mini-aircraft from the once Soviet Jews.

    Of course, I’m not a great connoisseur of domestic UAVs, the topic is rather muddy, like there is a lot of information, but you need to try to understand its abundance.
    From what has now been adopted by the Russian Federation, the outpost has the largest take-off mass and flight duration. Given the slow pace of development of domestic analogues, in my opinion, the purchase of a production license with subsequent localization is a real effective solution in the absence of similar analogues among our UAVs. Suppose that the outpost is based on an old foreign car, but in the future you can get a car manufactured in Russia and from our components. And this means independence from a foreign supplier. The current outposts in service have helped to develop tactics of use, personnel actions, etc. And this work is no less intense and intense than the design one and also requires significant time costs. The operating experience gained allows us to clarify the requirements for promising UAVs.
    It’s better now to have a tool that will allow you to “get your hands on,” even if at the cost of a wounded pride in the aviation industry, in addition, in the UAV area, we are objectively in a catch-up crew.

      There is nothing there in Israeli UAVs to spend on them money from the budget of the Ministry of Defense and forces on reengineering.
