The Russian Armed Forces will receive a fully Russian version of the Forpost unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). As they said in the Ministry of Defense, already in 2019, the troops will begin to receive fully assembled from Russian components and based on domestic technical solutions Drones.
The basis for the "Forpost" was the Israeli UAV Searcher 2. The decision to start its licensed production at the plant in Yekaterinburg was made under Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov. Initially, the drones were assembled from kits supplied from Israel. Since 2012, the specialists of OJSC RTI Systems have been engaged in the localization of production drone and the gradual introduction of Russian components.
"Outpost" is designed to solve reconnaissance tasks, as well as to adjust artillery fire. The size and capacity of this UAV can carry powerful optical-electronic equipment, as well as a solid supply of fuel. The presence of conventional and infrared cameras makes it possible to observe at any time of the day. The UAV is equipped with an economical piston engine that allows you to stay in the air for up to 17 hours. The range of the drone is about 250 km.
At present, the Outposts remain the largest modern UAV used in the Russian Armed Forces, but with the beginning of deliveries to the troops of a smaller Corsair system and a larger Orion dimension, the need for Outposts will become less significant, Izvestia reports.
