In late October, helicopters of the AV500W type UAV armament system (U8EW code) were tested in the Chinese province of Qinghai, the blog reports dambiev.



The air-to-ground missile launched by the helicopter hit the target from a distance of 4,5 km.

Helicopter-type drone AV-500 was developed by AVIC corporation in two versions. The first is to perform reconnaissance missions, including for observation (monitoring) flights, search missions, aerial surveys, fire safety control, transportation of small loads, etc.

The second option is a percussion (adding the letter “W” to the designation means an armed version).

The maximum take-off weight of the AV500 (W) is 470 kg, the length is 7 m, the cruising speed is 170 km / h, the range is up to 200 km. The drone can rise to a height of 4 km, the time spent in the air - 4 hours (reconnaissance version - 8 hours). Payload - 160 kg.

The reconnaissance version is equipped with an optical-electronic observation station on a gyrostabilized suspension, which is equipped with a target recognition and tracking system, a synthesized aperture locator (on an external hanger), and a data relay system.

    Yes, one of our weaknesses is precisely YOUR shock drones, and even there microelectronics was completely OUR.

        Chinese designers in this type of weapons are not in vain eating their bread, of course, we need to quickly reach their level.

          China has two advantages over us for creating such a sophisticated technique:
          1 Unlimited financial opportunities
          2 There you can really lose your head for stealing money from the military-industrial complex, just chopped off

            There is also a third advantage. They have access to modern technology. They are a world factory. Well, as always, we are under siege. :-)

    How will Russia respond? There is a suitable helicopter as a prototype Ansat of the Kazan helicopter, by the way, and there is a design bureau for drones in Kazan. winked

      to answer something - we need a modern electronic component base. Without it, in our time, any piece of iron is just a layout.

      Only electronic warfare agents remain a panacea! For on all the Chinese and their drones, there is no ammunition or missiles. Only to cut off the channels of control, the search for targets. Well, you can burn the "vaunted" Chinese electronics with some kind of EMP generator. And so that they don't fly where they don't get ...

        And so as not to fly where without hitting ...

        Here you need a full-time dome. Raise the range of the rocket to 7 km. and will be able to break.
