Ukraine showed a modernized drone for reconnaissance over Donbass

The Ukrainian company AVK Skaeton has developed an upgraded version of the unmanned aerial vehicle ACS-3 (Raybird-3), used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine for aerial reconnaissance. The modernized modification of the ACS-3M received a new Japanese injection engine, improved software and the ability to install an additional payload - a small-sized synthetic aperture radar.

The new engine is more economical and reliable than its predecessor. Thanks to him, the flight altitude increased from 3 thousand meters to 4,5 thousand. It also has automatic fuel trim for around 15 percent fuel savings. Aircraft with the new engine have already been delivered to the United Arab Emirates, one of the company's foreign customers.

Autonomous flight mode - 2,5 thousand km, cruising speed - 120 km / h, flight duration - more than 24 hours. Range in direct control mode - 240 km.

An equally important update in the modernized ACS-3M is a new "software". Its key advantage is its client-server architecture.

Before drone there was one workplace interacting with one aircraft. Now any number of UAVs can be connected to the ground control station. And vice versa, to one drone You can connect any number of users. At the same time, the program is able to distinguish between their rights. So, one operator can only observe the actions of the drone, and the other one can control them. According to Skaeton, both new customers and users of the previous model can receive the updated software.

According to the developer, the time spent by the UAV in the air depends on the mass and type of payload. So, with a camera, a drone will be able to fly for about 30 hours, and with a camera, this figure will depend on the intensity of its use and will be about 20 hours.

The company is preparing a modernized drone for state testing and adoption by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In the future, this technique will be used for reconnaissance in the Donbass.

Anyone who, in a nationalist frenzy, does not take into account the opinion of the people, risks getting his "Donbass".

By the way, today is October 25th, Sunday, the day of important elections for the frightened Green-Bandera authorities in Ukraine.

Yes, the mortar from the Chinese water pipes turned out to be not very successful, but on the other hand, why should they feel sorry for their Banderast? And on this miracle - a lushpayka, even a Japanese engine. I wonder at what price this bullshit will sell MO Banderland?

In the future, this technique will be used for reconnaissance in the Donbas.

So let's see how long this drone will fly in Donbas.

Ukraine, in its current political and economic state, hostility between regions, all that remains is to design drones .. Hurry, this whole chicken coop fell apart into several small nEzal Ukrainians .. And they would forget about this Outskirts, like a nightmare ...

Do not forget, normal to the east, the rest are closer to Poland to brothers in mind!

[Nikolay Ivanov_5]

When will they leave alone Donetsk and Luhansk regions ???

[Livonetc]

Only in two cases.
When Russia recognizes the LPR and DPR with the deployment of a peacekeeping contingent on their territories.
Or will include in the Russian Federation as the Luhansk and Donetsk regions.

[TermNachTer]

Let it first go to production and go into service. In Banderland, dozens of the latest, unparalleled weapon systems have already been developed, which have remained as prototypes. Just for the sake of interest, go to the Internet and see what this company was doing a couple of three years ago, and whether it was at all?

At 3000 m (with radar support), it is a target for a whole line of weapons. Will collapse to the ground as if knocked down.

But only if, relying on a "blitzkrieg" with the help of a UAV, he will "run into" a powerful electronic warfare and air defense system ...

System, different from that of the NM DNR and LPRconsisting of the outdated OSA-AKM, Strela-10, MANPADS and an unclear number of electronic warfare systems ...

[Siberian 66]

I'm afraid they are leading us to this ... This will give NATO freedom of action to protect these guys, and we will get NATO troops quite close by ... We are the aggressors, we are interfering in the internal affairs of Ukraine, public opinion is ready with many years of efforts, it remains to find a reason. The initiative is on their side, and we cannot answer them like that. All moves are too transparent and calculated

[askort154]

The active use of UAVs in recent "events" aroused great interest. Suddenly, Turkey burst into this area. And even Ukraine is trying to do something.
And we have, for some reason, a lull. And so they started actively:
"Orlan 10", "Orlan-30", "Corsair", "Altair", "Fregat", "Breakthrough" - and the coolest - "Hunter"! Not to mention the "small kamikaze"
Where is it all? Secret "calm", or forced "silence"?

[Cananecat]

Everything is in order with the Hunter, we are working on him. The state defense order is tightly controlled.

[askort154]

Canecat .... With the Hunter everything is in order, we are working on him. The state defense order is tightly controlled.

Thanks ! Nice to hear firsthand!

[Siberian 66]

R&D is a very lucrative topic, and then: well, it didn't work out, don't be offended. We will try again. The first time we were patted by a UAV was in 1982, and it was very painful for pride. So what? And nothing. Again we are preparing for war as in 1945.

[fruc]

Scientific companies are working on this in complete silence.

[fn34440]

On January 3, a senior Iranian general, Qasem Soleimani, was killed in a U.S. Air Force operation. Much has been said about the political significance of this step. I would like to note the military-technical aspect. The blow was delivered by the American reconnaissance and strike unmanned aerial vehicle MQ-9 Reaper. The mass of this monster is more than 2200 kg. It is able to climb to a height of 15 km and stay in the air for 14 hours. The cost of one drone is over $ 16 million. The United States has produced more than 250 such devices in ten years, some sold to the Allies. The drone is capable of carrying up to four AGM-114 Hellfire air-to-ground missiles and two Mark 82 laser-guided bombs.

For us, all this information is important for one reason: the Russian army does not have a single one!
And Ukraine does. A few dozens. In addition to Israeli Turkish, Canadian, Australian and other modifications of various directions.
And I do not understand the meager humorous prowess of individual local visitors in the shap-off of the accumulated Ukrainian potential.
The distance from Kiev to the Urals is 1592 km, and a lousy serial ukrodron of the light class flies for 2 km.
Does it bother anyone?
We do not have such.

Information that has nothing to do with the truth.

What are "several dozen"? The APU has TOTAL six purchased in Turkey "Bayraktar", capable of carrying at least somehow comparable in power load with the MQ-9 Reaper ...

SIX PIECES ... and that's it for now.

That's just the point, we are under the sanctions, not they. Neither Turkish nor Canadian drones will be sold to us. Neither the whole, nor the components for them - engines, optics, "brains" ...
We will have to do all this ourselves, which is very long and very expensive.
Some people say that it’s difficult, any Chinese Deshman smartphone should be considered a ready-made filling for a drone - several cameras, a powerful video processor, software pattern recognition, coded communication ...
But the working conditions of military equipment are more complicated, the requirements for reliability are different. It will not fail there when the device turns off already at zero Celsius.
And yes, the Chinese can make military microcircuits using the same equipment that makes millions of microcircuits for consumer goods. And it will cost the same penny, maybe a little more. We will have to build the same plant, but not millions, maximum hundreds of them will be made on it. Accordingly, the price will be hundreds of times more expensive.
The same is about optics and about engines and other, other, other.
The same Japanese people mentioned sell thousands of engines all over the world. To do such, we will have to build exactly the same plant, but it will make only a few pieces.

What does it mean to build a factory? This means you need to have a plant for the production of equipment, and not one plant, hundreds. Where to get them? First you need to build them.
And so on ... you can't build an industry from scratch in a year or five, even if it's stupid to buy everything ready. But after all, there is no runoff money either, and they do not sell us, either in finished form, or, especially, production technologies.

[Thrifty]

Jacket in stock - partly the problem can be solved by purchasing a batch of drone drone in Iran. This country has firmly entered the top 10 of the world leaders in the production of attack drones! They also began to massively produce loitering ammunition! The Internet will help you, read on this topic, the Persians have udevili the world!

From Kuev to the Urals, the ukrodron will fly for 5 hours, and from the Urals to Kuev, the rocket will fly in 2 minutes. Is the difference noticeable?

really ... maybe because:
“Reaper has become a great platform for us. Four million flight hours is just an undeniable advantage in low intensity combat, and it certainly saves lives. But when we look at high intensity combat, we just can't bring them to the battlefield. It's easy to get them down"Said Will Roper, Air Force Assistant Secretary for Purchasing, Technology and Logistics. According to Roper, under the current conditions, the MQ-9 cannot be involved in a possible conflict with Russia or China. whereas its use in low-intensity conflicts "requires too much money and labor".
