China drew attention to Russia's increase in investments in the creation of UAVs

59

Like many other countries, Russia today is actively engaged in the creation and development of unmanned aerial vehicles for its army. They are an important area of ​​military technology, without which it is already impossible to imagine modern combat operations.

On achievements in the development of the military drones in Russia writes the Chinese edition Huangqiu Shibao.



The increase in investment in this technique began in our country in 2012. Now in service with the Russian army there are more than two thousand UAVs, most of which have already taken part in training and combat missions. During the anti-terrorist operation in Syria, Russian drones made more than 23 thousand flights, spending a total of more than 140 thousand hours in the air.

Mainly Russia uses small UAVs in the Middle East. They are engaged in intelligence, electronic warfare, monitoring and relaying communications. In addition, drones assess the damage caused to the enemy as a result aviation and artillery strikes. UAVs are also of great benefit in search and rescue operations. In particular, in 2015, the pilot of the Su-24 fighter, shot down by the Turkish Air Force, was the first to be found by the Orlan-10 drone.

And although Russia is still lagging behind other countries in the development of unmanned vehicles, our developers are gradually closing this gap. The appearance of the Orion heavy medium-altitude drone and the Hunter stealth UAV under development, which is to become the prototype of the sixth generation unmanned fighter, deserves special attention. At the moment, these are the first Russian models of their class, on the development of which there is still a lot of work to be done.

So far, in Russia there is a shortage of strike reconnaissance drones and large-sized UAVs capable of operating at high altitude, being in the air for a long time, but this direction is actively developing.

    The development of unmanned vehicles can be called successful when you do not have to go to a "Chinese supermarket" for components for it.
    The most important thing is to be able to do it yourself and not just anyhow, but high quality and class!

      Yes, it's too late to drink Borjomi, they cannot be overtaken, but to produce their own, so who will sell us technologies and machines? it is necessary to study everything first for 20 years, they are forever behind, but perhaps there will be a chance when technologies move away from microelectronics

        Today, performance characteristics (also embellished) are laid out at the stage of a preprototype / layout for the exhibition. For if you crumple the secrecy for a long time, then the market will be closed and that's it. The native MO will buy 100 units, and then reduction, bankruptcy and all this (for example, I repeat the Mi-26T2 - they did it with their own money, then they took out a loan for export interests, then Algeria invested money as an investor and only in this way the Mi-26T2 was born the same. the Ministry of Defense gave money to fine-tune the board for specifications and requirements, well, and then ordered 10 cars - against 14 Algerian and 2 Jordanian, for example).

        As for China, he has devoured almost the entire UAV niche for those countries that are not stable clients of the West, that is, the one that Russia will apply for when it masters a competitive UAV.

        For example, Serbia - it bought from China the strike-reconnaissance CH-92A


        Algeria, mentioned above, bought another batch of CH-4 from China, as well as smaller models.


        Indonesia (the main client in the region for military-technical cooperation for Russia), purchased CH-4 in China, and presented it in an interesting way, for the first time a UAV flew at the parade, under its own power:


        Egypt ordered 32 machines in the 1D version (17 meters in scope, versus 14 for conventional, 400 kg of weapons, a slot for a powerful radar for mapping the earth's surface of quality comparable to photographs taken from a low altitude).


        The Saudis are constantly buying different models of shock reconnaissance UAVs.


        And a bunch of little things, including Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Iraq (another key buyer of weapons in Russia).

          Chinese UAVs are more likely to be bought due to lack of choice. The United States and Israel are selling to their own and very expensive, Turkey is on its way, you can't buy from Iran, and you can't remember anyone else. There are big questions about the quality of the Chinese UAVs, like the Saudis generally sell them.
