The Ministry of Defense has ordered a pilot batch of Altius-U strike-reconnaissance drones

The Ministry of Defense signed a contract for the supply of an initial batch of reconnaissance and strike drones Altius. This is stated in the materials of the final board of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Tatarstan.

As follows from the materials, after the implementation and defense of the technical project for the development of the drone, a contract was signed for the manufacture and supply of the Altius pilot batch. The production of drones is included in the company's plans for 2021, the delivery time and the number of UAVs in the batch have not been disclosed.

As part of the implementation of the state contract for the ROC "Altius-RU" for the development of UAVs by a separate subdivision No. 2 of JSC "Ural Plant of Civil aviation"(UZGA) in Kazan, the protection and closure of the" Technical design "stage has been successfully completed.

- the document says.

In mid-January 2020, it was reported that UZGA had completed tests of an experimental prototype of a promising unmanned aerial vehicle "Altius-U". The first flight of the unmanned vehicle in the Altius-U version took place in August 2019.

"Altius-U" is the final appearance of the drone, created as a result of the development and testing of a number of prototypes within the framework of the "Altair" project. The newest unmanned complex is capable of performing the entire range of reconnaissance missions, as well as using aircraft weapons. In February 2020, it was reported that a drone of high-precision gliding bombs 9-А-7759 "Thunder" was received for service.

UAV Altius has a wingspan of 28,5 m, a length of 11,6 m, and take-off weight of 6 tons. The flight altitude is 12 thousand meters, the flight range is up to 10 thousand km. In this case, the UAV can be in the air for up to 48 hours. The installed equipment allows reconnaissance at a great distance. The drone can also be controlled via satellite, which makes its range almost unlimited.

But this is the topic, yes.
Our best drone, so far.

It seems like "Hunter" is also ready.
I remember the Yankees wrote about him as a very formidable weapon.

Well, they still have intelligence and analysts! And drones of this class - too! We thought, counted, estimated, assumed .... It turned out - OH!

Perhaps the largest of all, both for the ceiling in terms of range and duration of stay in the air. And about the best - it is not yet clear. TTX correspond and slightly exceed the American "Reaper *

[ism_ek]

With German engines ...

I'm even afraid of something to rejoice. Just do not frighten off progress. I really hope for the success of this project.

As far as can be judged from the domestic media, all projects of UAVs manufactured in Russia are being "tested" in Syria and the harsh climatic conditions of Russia.
Therefore, MO orders only those products that have passed the examinations well and excellent.
We are waiting for the replenishment of new products.

But there is no need to be afraid! If it comes to the "setting batch" - then "the process - started"! Another - HOW MUCH will they be built? But this is no longer for me! Moreover, the progress in the field of UAVs "spanks forward with leaps and bounds"! I am absolutely convinced that even more advanced machines are already being developed somewhere "in the depths of the design bureau"!

This is already a serial product. At this stage, the ability of production is determined, but the product itself is already serial. There will be few people at the assembly, they will recruit more. There will not be enough machines and equipment, they will buy in addition.

Not yet.
When all the tests are passed, the elimination of comments. When MO orders it and that's when it goes into production.

Sergey! "Svetlan" is right! The tests "Altius" passed for a long time! Installation series - this is to determine opportunities serial production... Based on the results of the MO and will determine procurement schedule! No other way!

And it all started with a scandal about the waste of 1 billion rubles, they took control and that's it.

took control and done

And transferred to another developer ...

There is a whole detective story with engines. And UZGA is great. We have been waiting since the age of 11.

Well, it seems that this "detective" (with engines) was somehow solved!

[tralflot1832]

I wrote below from memory, as decided.

[businessv]

The Altius UAV has a wingspan of 28,5 m, a length of 11,6 m, and a takeoff weight of 6 tons. The flight altitude is 12 thousand meters, the flight range is up to 10 thousand km. In this case, the UAV can stay in the air for up to 48 hours.

Such news appears more and more often, which is very encouraging! Judging by the characteristics, it is quite a serious car. Another would have been reported in more detail about the weapons, or about the payload.

[Piramidon]

The performance characteristics of the "Altius-U" UAV:
cruising speed - 150-250 km / h;
ceiling - 12000 m;
payload - 1000 kg (for the civilian version 2000 kg);
takeoff weight - up to 5000 kg (7000 kg for the civilian version);
flight range - up to 10 km; flight duration - 000 hours;
length - 11,6 m;
wingspan - 28,5 m;
plumage span - 6 m.

Class! Thank you colleague!

[Thrifty]

So we solved the problem with the engines for them! Then, one must hope that Syrian production is not far off!

[tralflot1832]

As they wrote, the engine was made in Germany, the owner is our former compatriot. Before the introduction of sanctions, he transferred the production documentation to us, a turbodiesel of 500 l / s.

[codetalker]

It seems that the problem of unmanned aircraft is being gradually solved in a positive way. It is gratifying! And knowing our character (harnessing ... driving ...), I hope we will have the best unmanned aircraft in the world!
It would be interesting to get acquainted with the current comprehensive material on this topic here. Not only for those products that are heard (hunter, altius, outpost, orion, etc.), but also less famous. How these projects are progressing, what is known from open sources, what various experts write, and so on.

[wow]

The confirmed performance is impressive! And so the car is beautiful, so it flies beautifully.

[Dikson]

This is what the Arctic should fly ... and watch out for ...

[Mairos]

As an option - UAV AWACS based on it))

[Dikson]

It will not pull such systems by weight .. (((

[Bear]

AWACS is not AWACS, but as a repeater to provide communication in the VHF range and broadband access to data transmission for ground constellation or surface constellation - it is. The presence of a satellite channel, the payload is normal, the speed is excellent for this, the ceiling and loitering time are excellent. So we look forward to it.

[Ros 56]

However, in terms of dimensions, this UAV is larger than the IL-4, it will be of the Great Patriotic War, I am generally silent about the flight time. Here the technique has stepped.

[Alexander X]

Fine. Serious apparatus. Not with aliexpress ...

[dauria]

Not with aliexpress ...

Is it better or worse? Chinese electronics, electrical engineering and carbon fiber at the highest level. And aliexpress will sell everything and of any quality, just pay.
And yet, there must be something from aliexpress. There are some things that Russia is simply not able to do now.

[steelmaker]

Why is nothing heard about them in Syria? Terrorists will love it! And how happy the Turks with the striped ones will be?

Well, as usual, there will be a "run-in" in Syria, then, according to the results, adjustments will be made to the design. It's ok

[senima56]

Finally, shock UAVs will appear in our Army! We have been waiting for a long time!

[Nestor Vlakhovski]

Who's been waiting long?
Just a couple of years ago, local patriots vied with each other about the fact that no godless UAVs were needed by Orthodox Russia for nothing.

[TatarinSSSR]

Well, with the strike-type UAV, the process has begun, well, at least it has moved off the ground. Good news.

[Zaurbek]

He's ugly

[Ugochaves]

He does not defile on the podium, but fight. And here the functionality is much more important

[Zaurbek]

But they will want to sell ...

[Cossack 471]

Comrades! Happy holiday everyone! Health and well-being to you and your families

However, you are right, but a reasonable person tends to change his views under the influence of new circumstances and new information. This is, in fact, the basis of evolution and progress.
Initially, many "did not accept" UAVs, considered them unnecessary and expensive toys ... Well, it is human to make mistakes ... Later, realizing a mistake, they admitted it and diligently correct it. This is good, this is correct and it pleases!

CIAM is developing a line of engines for small aircraft. And something happens.

Not even funny. They even have a benchmark classified for fear, and such developments are underway, where does this information come from? Do you work in this madhouse?
