The Ministry of Defense asks Russian developers to speed up the creation of shock drones

The Ministry of Defense turned to enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex with a request to accelerate the development of domestic strike systems. This was announced by the head of "Rostec" Sergei Chemezov.

According to Chemezov, work is underway in Russia on several drum projects drones, but work in this direction has not yet been completed. At the same time, the Ministry of Defense turned to the developers to speed up work and provide the Russian army with attack drones.

We already have carriers, and in this direction are working not only the enterprises of "Rostec", but also the Ural plant of civil aviation, and the company "Kronstadt". In addition, the Sukhoi concern has already completed the development and started testing of the heavy UAV Okhotnik ... Now the Ministry of Defense is asking to speed up the completion of all work on these projects.

- explained the head of Rostec.

Speaking about specific developments, Chemezov added that the Okhotnik is being tested in conjunction with the Su-57, and the small-sized drones of the Kalashnikov concern are already being used by the military in Syria. Medium UAV "Corsair" from KB "Luch" can also carry weapon, he can go into series after the corresponding request from the Ministry of Defense.

The Kalashnikov drones took part in the fighting in Syria. They have proven themselves well, the Defense Ministry is happy to acquire them. And not only intelligence, but also combat

- he added.

Earlier, the head of the UAC, Yuri Slyusar, said that serial deliveries of heavy shock UAVs "Okhotnik" would begin in early 2024.

The medium UAV "Corsair" from KB "Luch" can also carry weapons, it can go into production after a corresponding request from the Ministry of Defense.

For the Ministry of Defense "the wrong system", or what?

MO asks.

Write a letter to Santa Claus.

Make grandpa us a drone drone. And tell us why we need it and what performance characteristics are needed. And then we ourselves do not know, but manufacturers do not give a clear answer to our requests)))

We all have UAVs, but we don't. Help us Santa Claus.

Again the stupidity of the MO in all its glory! See all! Dumb officials confess their stupidity.
Everything is under their feet except the brains, which are not in their heads and will not be ...
Put on an ordinary small UAV a guidance system for Krasnopol (they say there is already), Brave, Centimeter or for the new Tornado-S corrected missile ... We have unique projectiles and missiles, but they are guided from the ground manually, not with a UAV ... It's cheaper and much angrier ... Create such units in the army ...

Their guidance system for attack UAVs in real time is limited, control via satellite is just being put into operation, that's where you need to invest money. Shock drones take off from airfields, use unique ammunition, and komikadze drones are used only once ... This is not a universal weapon, for poor armies like Azerbaijan has! And we aspire there? It seems that yes! Or to cut the money again?

[Herman 4223]

Small-sized kamikaze drones are a good addition to anti-tank systems. It is in the same range as the missile from the ATGM, but the launch range is noticeably greater, several times greater. The chances of getting hit back, respectively, are also much less.
Generals whom you like to call stupid, they even graduated from the academy, and have management experience, but what do you have behind you?

[VO3A]

Small-sized kamikaze drones are a good addition to anti-tank systems.

Who will attack you with tanks?
Tanks are advancing, or only one country with its smartest graduates of academies thinks to attack ... You can assume that you finished it too ...

[Herman 4223]

And with tanks you can only attack, you can not defend? The Ishilovites also fought with tanks. Who will not use them if they are available?

[TatarinSSSR]

ATGM is, in principle, the same kamikaze drone, only launched by a fighter on the ground at once the target. Aren't ATGMs an effective weapon? But a fighter with an ATGM cannot operate safely in the rear and in the depths of the front. A kamikaze drone, due to the flight altitude and stealth, it can. While the Fighter is safe.

Operation Medvedka 19, when Israel used UAVs against Syrian air defenses in a combat situation, is 1982.
yes, not 25 years difference ...

[Pereira]

I counted 36.
True, in 1982 these were other drones - reconnaissance. And scouts in the USSR have been produced since 1963, starting with the La-17R.

[Avior]

La-17 is a target for which the camera was adapted.
He did not transmit video to the ground, in a real combat situation he was never used.
UAVs themselves have long been known.
The Austrians tried to bomb Venice with an unmanned airship back in the 19th century.
And radio-controlled aircraft have also been known for a long time, including in the USSR.
Yes, and Israel used UAVs in the 60s.
in 1982, it's a different level.

[Pereira]

By 82, there were already more advanced drones in the USSR.

[Avior]

And the experience of their mass combat use was?

[Hermit21]

[OgnennyiKotik]

The jet UAV AQM-34 "Firebee" was actively and successfully used during the Vietnam War (1965-1973 year). During this war, more 1000 American Firebee committed 3435 sorties.
The first experiments in using Firebee in as a bomber were held in 1964 year, the device took two 81-pound bombs Mk 1971 and carried out aimed bombing. In 34, the world's first prototype reconnaissance and strike drone BGM-XNUMXA, armed with ATGM Maverick and UAB Paveway on the external suspension nodes.
The first in world military history, the launch of an air-to-surface missile with television guidance from a drone took place December 14 1971 year.

Our Defense Ministry would first of all set the requirements for the UAV and determine what it wants. Until we see the specifics, for what purposes and tactics, while they just want to have strike UAVs.

[gridasov]

Drones are not the problem! The problem is in the minds of those who have not seen the development of situations and technologies in the world. Where is analysis and modeling? At the very least, all this means that in many key areas of scientific and technical development the country will be simply powerless in a very short time. Naturally this will lead to a change and balance of power.

[Kart]

The problem is in the minds of sofa experts.
There is both analysis and modeling. And taking into account the fact that all the equipment must be made in Russia, the task is not very simple, and time-consuming.
But nevertheless, it is being solved successfully.
Now, if you jump in the squares, then yes, "the country will be powerless in a very short time."

[donavi49]

Who told you such tales about 100% Russian production? The most massive UAV of the Russian army flies on Japanese engines, Chinese, Swiss and American electronics and its standards.

On the main UAV of the Russian army, the trial is just over.
The court ruled illegal the actions of the customs, which classified the sets of components for the UAV "Outpost" as ready-made aircraft
The Arbitration Court of the Ural District found the actions of the Yekaterinburg customs unlawful, which classified as ready-made aircraft in disassembled form sets of components for drones "Forpost", which were supplied to the Ural Civil Aviation Plant (UZGA) in 2016-2017 by the Israeli Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI)... The plant is exempted from payment of customs duties, interest and penalties, evidenced by the file of arbitration cases.
The composition of supplies from Israel was such that, in fact, in the Russian Federation dispatched finished products disassembled... Therefore, in the opinion of the customs, the components should have been classified according to the same headings as the assembled products, and subject to the corresponding duty.

On the latest UAV Orion.

Austrian engine (company owner Bombardier-Canada) Rotax 914 (slightly more powerful than Turkish TV2 - 912 there).

Sharik - an optical station formally this is NPK SPP, however, the platform is manufactured by South African DS Optronics (part of Airbas), and NPK SPP completes Argos, includes several of its components and a casing. Cause? Weight characteristics. An analogue from Russian components will be 37-45% heavier.

[Kart]

The Minister of Defense and the Supreme Commander told me this.
And it is clear not only to me, but to everyone. This goal has been announced - the Russian army should not have foreign-made equipment.
Work on this is going on without stopping for a minute - I know personally.
The data you provided are 5-7 years old. Everything is much better now.

[donavi49]

That is, Orion received an imaginary Russian optical station and fixed the problems with the APD-115T engine ,?

As part of preliminary tests, we worked out the initial resource before the first repair (150 hours with a factor of 1,2) on three engines and identified a number of defectsThat before submitting engines for state bench tests, it is necessary to eliminate.

Here, there is such a popular saying - "As soon as it flies, we'll talk." .
In the meantime, in fact, the percentage of imported components and finished units in military equipment is quite high. This is not really a problem as long as it is possible to receive supplies. Over there, the same Pella has the ability to buy CATs in unlimited quantities and extract Rolls-Royce columns / water cannons and does not blow a mustache. All their products are built on this pair.

[gridasov]

Analysis and modeling on binary logic is manifested not only in the work of those who are responsible for the strategic issues of the country's security, but also in your thinking. Sometimes a couch analyst can see such nuances that are inaccessible to others. Therefore, modern trends in the development of drones are not very different from simple aircraft modeling of small and micro aviation. The technology is the same. By the way, the absence of a saw only reduces the possibility of combat and targeted use of weapons. So the tasks of using drones are based on the use of those capabilities that are beyond the ability of a person. Well, where are the capabilities of drones for high flight speeds in all space vectors with the highest maneuverability and overloads. Where are the high parameters of flight duration, etc. I believe that not many will comprehend the key task of creating new aircraft

[Imobile]

And taking into account the fact that all equipment must be Russian-made

And why should it be made in Russia? At the first stage, I even consider it harmful! It is unclear what other areas of production need to be developed. That you can invest money - but the direction will be dead end. It is better to buy and test various equipment, interaction and tactics that are available, and then implement the best at home

[K-36]

Kart (Stepan), I draw your attention (however, not only yours, but also all regular readers of VO) that nickname gridasov - This is a kind of "Chinese box". I have been following this nickname for several years. Not on purpose, of course, but only when I come across his comments.
And I came to the conclusion: under this nickname is a group of people (developers, or simply operators) accompanying a specially developed program - botIf they are scouts, then nothing more than "amateurs" (that is, not from the "professional league"). For they have already been pierced several times. For the thoughtful and corrosive, I give a hint: Subject, vocabulary, spelling... However, even a non-biased reader can easily distinguish the machine comment of this nickname from the physiological one. It is precisely the blatant "bubbles" of physical commentators, coupled with alternating machine ones, that light up this community. And there are quite a few such punctures in the practice of people who pretend to be some other. Here, for example, is A. Kuprin's story "Staff Captain Rybnikov", dated 1906. Or here's another failure, recounted by the famous Soviet intelligence officer Konan Molodoy:
"Among us were three Englishmen, two Americans, one German, a Dane, two Irishmen, and myself, a "Canadian." We put a blanket on the grass, made a "table", drank and decided to swim. And suddenly the "Dane", first undressed, rushed from the shore into the water, dived, dived quite far and swam, imagine, with sweeping saplings, clapping his palms on the water. So only in Russia they swim. And nowhere else in the world where there are different rabbits, breaststrokes, butterfly, etc.


We all stood on the shore, looked, did not utter a word, because I was not the only one who understood.

I have never seen a “Dane” again in my life, and even here, at the Center, I don’t want to ask about his fate, we ask the Center little about anything».

[Dikson]

You know, K-36, and I came across such a nickname in the Internet space ..- Gridasov .. and this person was kind of real, but he carried, as a rule, a very similar high-energy near-physical heresy, abundantly covered with various terms ... Maybe this is still a real person?

[K-36]

Dikson (Eugene). So in my post, I kind of clearly indicated what is hidden under this nickname a group of people who have a special (as you put it high-energy near-physical heresy program - bot... And so they alternate posts from this program with their own (human). And these posts are strikingly different in style and spelling.
Plus, think about what kind of Topics this nickname embeds. More attention and memory - and everyone will understand that this is "two-faced Janus".

[prior]

Outrageous phrase - "The Ministry of Defense appealed to the enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex with a request to accelerate".
The Ministry of Defense should determine the technical specification, issue money for design, development work, testing and control the timing.
And it turns out that the Ministry of Defense is now in the role of a supplicant? Well, develop a drone for us at your own expense, please.
And we, if we like it, if the State Duma gives money in the budget, maybe we will pay you, then ...
"Even in church, it's not like that, it's not like that guys."

[mitroha]

The Ministry of Defense should determine the TOR, issue money for design, development work, testing

Didn't you think that all this has already happened and we are talking about accelerating the completion of work?

[prior]

Then it should not be about acceleration, but about punishment.
And look not in the form of a request from the Ministry of Defense, but in the form of a court decision on the proposal of the prosecutor's office.

[Tavrik]

And who should be punished and for what? Everything is done in accordance with the schedules and guidelines of the Russian Federation. GOSTs, for example. But if the legal framework is built in such a way that nothing can be done quickly, in principle, this is the problem of the Ministry of Defense. First, they bureaucratized everything that was possible, now they ask to speed up ...

[prior]

Every failure, missed deadline has a first and last name.
And the revision of the development timeline is not called a request and should not be brought up for public discussion.

Meanwhile: Russian President Vladimir Putin conferred the title of Hero of Russia on Sergei Chemezov, general director of Rostec corporation, Vedomosti newspaper reported, citing several top managers of the state corporation and a senior official from the presidential administration. According to them, the decree was signed a few weeks ago, but has not been officially published.

Rostec declined to comment on this information. Vedomosti sent an inquiry to the President's press secretary Dmitry Peskov.
“No such decree has been published,” he stressed, adding that this is all he can say on the issue.

One of the sources suggested that the title of Hero of Russia could have been awarded to Chemezov for services related to reforming the system of military-technical cooperation with foreign countries.

Sergei Chemezov - Colonel General of the FSB, full holder of the Order of Merit for the Fatherland.

[Ramadan]

It seems to me that the Turks have a well-organized marketing component for these drones.
Pay attention to how in a short time "Byraktar" became famous and they received orders. After all, we don't know exactly what our military men see on the monitors and there were no official direct collisions of our air defense with them, but the viewer on TV sees a clear picture of how they hit targets. And the picture is very high quality. And let's say the Anka UAV is just being launched into a series, and the Turks are already filming videos about it with suspensions for advertising as a super weapon, and it works. All this turns into live orders, and orders are salaries, taxes, etc. Ours rarely indulge their potential clients with such stories. The same "Orion" has anyone seen with suspensions in flight?

[Kart]

We just start an advertising campaign for weapons that will only be available - immediately a howl starts on the Internet and hysteria about "they will deceive us again, they will not give anything", and "we must take everything away and give it to us, the right ones."

[Aleksey Aleksandrovich]

Is the light on the UAV now converging like a wedge?
I do not argue that in the arsenal of the Armed Forces there should be strike drones of domestic production, but their importance should not be overestimated either.

[loki565]

Modern UAVs have completely replaced attack aircraft, which is why such attention is paid to them

[OgnennyiKotik]

Director of TUSAŞ (TAI) Ismayil Kotil: From December 5, 2020, the Turkish newest drone Aksungur (or in the common people Anka-2) will go into mass production.

Briefly about the characteristics of the UAV Aksungur:

Able to take to the skies with 12 MAM-L smart bombs (The famous Bayraktar TB-2 only 2 MAM-L bombs)

The flight duration is from 40 hours to 60 hours.

Flight altitude 12-13 km.

Payload - 750 kg

CATS optics from Aselsan for 30 km.

Synthetic Aperture Radar / SAR / GMTI-ISAR is a new development of Aselsana.

Communication and intelligence sensors (SIGINT). There is a satellite connection SATCOM from the Turkish Ctech.

It uses 2 domestic TEI PD170 turbodiesel engines, with a capacity of 170 hp. up to 220 hp By the way, it surpasses the Canadian analogue of the rotax, thanks to which the continuous flight of the drone has increased to 60 hours.

[OgnennyiKotik]

Test flight Bayraktar TB-2S

New CATS optics and radar MIlSAR
Satellite communication system (Satcom)
New engine from the Turkish company TUSAS TEI (presumably PD-170).

[AlexeyEg]

The more missiles on the wing, the greater the cost of its defeat, for the host country. I think the development should be in the direction of one bomb with wings .. just mighty to hang for the same 60 hours.

[Alexey G]

Yes! I just want to look at it from above and behind him and zhahnat from guns point-blank in the style of Erich Hartmann!

[Baal]

For more than 10 years the space power has not been able to create an attack drone !!!
I'm not even talking about "the best in the world, having an analogue multi-superior superior ...." Create an ordinary UAV so that it drops bombs or missiles on the heads of the bassoons!
And the fact that we fly as "scouts" is nothing more than an Israeli "ZALA" under license.
Shameful and insulting!

[Gennady Fomkin]

.Somehow, by the end of the last conflict in Karabakh, Bayraktars "unexpectedly" began to "land" and the drones calmed down ...

Maybe they have already experienced something "orange" in real combat conditions ... In Syria, drones were landed in squadrons and it was a few years ago. The interception of the control channel can be done in two ways - by setting an interference of such a level that will not allow the original control system to transmit commands, or by transmitting false control commands (provided that they are known), again of a level higher than the original one.

2. The supply of a pulse of such a level that a breakdown of the semiconductors in the device occurs, which leads to a failure (as, for example, during a thunderstorm, various routers and other equipment from Internet providers burn out)

Both the first and second paths require energy expenditure. The required power is squared with the distance. This can be compensated to some extent by the size of the antennas. However, the larger the antenna, the more difficult it is to control and the easier it is to damage in response. Neither the first nor the second way is 100% reliable. Mechanical damage to the target by shrapnel, bullets, shells, shot, etc. in this case it will give a more reliable result. Electronic warfare and mechanical defeat can complement each other, but personally I would not rely only on electronic warfare. For example, in the absence of a control channel (i.e., the presence of an autonomous controller on the drone), the first method is practically useless, except to plug the GPS receiver, if there is one. At one time, radars were also considered a completely reliable means of detecting enemy aircraft, until the enemy used ordinary aluminum foil, finely cut and dropped from the aircraft. The radar station was suddenly blinded. Similarly, radars are susceptible to active interference. In general, an eternal battle of armor and a projectile, where someone constantly rushes ahead, and the second catches up. -The main danger of loitering ammunition is that they are simply taken out to the patrolling area, and then a person is not needed. Find bombs on the surface and attack it can be done without artificial intelligence. This means that such ammunition is cheap to manufacture and can be massaged. An attack by an armored vehicle from the upper hemisphere, if the crew is untrained, is a guarantee of success. It is quite easy to make such ammunition less visible. And this is really a new word in military affairs.

[Comrade Kim]

An analogue from Russian components will be 37-45% heavier.

This is normal.
In GA, the range in weight is 0,5 orders of magnitude (100-150 kg of imported ones against 500-650 kg of ours).
But nothing, there are good trends. Elbruses are being introduced, and the software will be tightened up.
