Equipment "Ratnik" will be supplemented with a nano-drone

The St. Petersburg-based Kronstadt company, which specializes in the development of unmanned aerial vehicles, has developed a nano-unmanned aerial vehicle for the next generation of Ratnik equipment. This is stated in a press release distributed by the company.

As the chief designer of special projects of KT-Unmanned Systems JSC (Kronshtadt is included) Pavel Rozhkov explained, the company has proactively developed a nano-drone for the "soldiers of the future." A miniature UAV weighing 180 grams was demonstrated at the Army-2020 forum, where it aroused great interest from law enforcement agencies not only from Russia.



We have designed and manufactured a nano-UAV weighing 180 grams. It is needed to solve a number of specialized military tasks, in particular to equip the "soldiers of the future"

- said Rozhkov, adding that this drone is designed to conduct surveillance, search for objects, etc.

The performance data of the new mini-drone are not given.

The company explained that this development is the first, the specialists of Kronstadt have just begun development in this direction.

Note that the Ministry of Defense previously announced the entry of a mini-drone into the equipment of the next, third generation Ratnik, which is currently being developed.

    In the "warrior" already so many offer to "shove" that personally to me the soldier of the future already begins to seem ...

    Especially interesting then are the arguments about how much heavier the ammunition will weigh if you use a smaller caliber of weapons ...
    Yes, at such a pace, a soldier will soon either carry a wheelbarrow with equipment along with him, or run with a small car!

      Of course, there is logic in your words. But, you see, such a drone will not be superfluous in the body kit. Something can and can be given up, but not from it.

            A small drone (the size of a tit), moreover, with camouflage paint, does not unmask anyone. The task of the micro drone is to look around the corner and show the soldier that there.

        what for each fighter this device? Tactical reconnaissance data is only needed by the commander to make a decision, isn't he? Plus, building an ultralight compact drone is half the battle. Integrating a comfortable control and monitoring system into the complex is the main thing, kmk. That's where "nano" is)

        In modern warfare, soldiers are removed from the front lines; there should be no battlefield with people. Yes, this cannot be completely avoided, but this is not a calculated option, not the main one, a reserve one, if you want ... We do not understand this ... No need to cram unnecessary (another word is asked) ... The battle is conducted by a group of operators, which has a full an informational duplicated picture about the controlled (positional) area, with the help of the attached striking means ... When our stupid leaders understand this ... The army orders and rules the ball, not the manufacturers .. We have the opposite. They do not what they need, but what they can, and then they figure out where to shove it !!! We do not have a concept of modern combined-arms combat at all ... So we shovel or get results everywhere: Syria, Livmya, LDNR, Karabakh ... We have zero intelligence and target designation information systems, or rather, they simply DO NOT! And they do not ensure the destruction of the enemy in real time, even on our borders and controlled territories .. Modern army ?! It's funny, or rather sad ...

          In modern warfare, soldiers are removed from the front line; there should be no battlefield with people.
          Dreams, dreams, but until the soldier sets foot, the territory is not conquered, and the Saudi army with modern weapons is being helped by the United States, and a bunch of mercenaries cannot do anything with the Houthis, and moreover, this is direct clashes, not even a guerrilla war.
          And the most powerful army in the world, the United States is forced to negotiate with the Taliban, because they cannot do anything.

          So we rake it off or we get the result everywhere: Syria, Livmya, LDNR, Karabakh ...
          We are so raking in Syria that Assad has almost squeezed out everyone he can. In Liivi, Russia only supplies weapons and specialists, in the LDNR Ukraine had and until now has a numerical and material advantage, but cannot crush two shortcomings, and fortunately Russia does not fight at all in Karabakh.

                    He does not control a third of the territory, mainly with oil ... The war has moved into a sluggish current phase, time is lost, new players and their sponsors have actually mothballed the situation ... We do not exercise any informational control over the entire territory of Syria in real time. .. We cannot, we do not know how, there are no means and opportunities ... We do not control the situation anywhere! Are you satisfied with this state of affairs?

      "Nano", and the weight is 180 grams? How many nano-particles have been shoved there?

      Nanoparticle (eng.nanoparticle) - an isolated solid-phase object with a distinct boundary with the environment, whose dimensions in all three dimensions are from 1 to 100 nm.

      For comparison.
      The Israeli company SpearUAV has presented the pocket reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle Ninox 40. According to Jane's, the new device is located in a cylindrical capsule from which it is launched. After reconnaissance, the operator can pick up the drone and later reuse or abandon it.
      The Ninox 40 is a small quadcopter with retractable shoulders and propellers. The drone is capable of flying up to 40 minutes. The device weighs 250 grams.
      Ninox 40 is located in a capsule through which the operator can program it, assigning a flight route or determining key points for observation. The drone can also be operated manually. Together with the device comes a tablet, which receives intelligence information, and two joysticks for control. They are attached to the sides of the tablet.
