Russia completes testing of a new kamikaze drone designed for use in the NVO zone

The photo is illustrative

The special operation that began last year showed the insufficient equipment of the Russian army drones, especially an acute shortage of percussion drones, including loitering ammunition. The number of drones currently being supplied is not enough, so the troops are waiting for new products from Russian developers.

The Russian company Energoinnovation is completing the development of a new kamikaze drone for use by our troops in the NVO zone. Prototypes of the drone are at the final stage of testing, testing of drones in combat conditions is planned for late spring - early summer of this year. A batch of 50 to 100 drones will be sent to them, which will be distributed among the units of the Ministry of Defense, the National Guard, Wagner PMC and volunteer detachments in order to get a more complete picture.

As the developers explained, the new drone is designed to destroy enemy equipment and personnel. The device with a carrying capacity of 5 kg is capable of delivering strikes at a distance of up to 7 km. It can also be used as a reconnaissance aircraft, while the range is increased to 30 km. Another feature of this drone is that it works through a repeater drone, which should protect the operator from being hit by the enemy, since UAV operators in the NWO zone are priority targets. In addition, the repeater allows you to receive data from other drones, transmitting them to the ground.

At present, tests of the kamikaze drone and repeater drone developed by us are being completed. Drones are tested in the most difficult conditions close to front-line realities

- leads TASS the words of a company representative.

It is noted that the frame of the drone itself is printed on a 3-D printer, the rest of the components are foreign.

We need mass production. Cheap and simple from domestic components or inexpensive and available for import. But that's only part of the recipe. We also need a massive introduction into use on the LBS. Just as at one time it was decided to include a machine gunner, a grenade launcher and a sniper in the organizational and staffing structure of a motorized rifle platoon, so now it is also necessary to regularly introduce drone-piercing guns, a pilot of reconnaissance drones and kamikaze drones. To begin with, at least for a company, and then no less than for a platoon. And the attitude of the military personnel to such types of weapons should be the same as that of volunteers and private military men. This is not exotic from volunteers, but a necessary tool of modern warfare and consumables. The kamikaze drone pilot is essentially the same sniper or grenade launcher. Depending on the suspension, it performs the same function. After all, there was a time and machine-gun teams in separate units also brought fighters of armed anti-tank systems into "tank destroyers". Then they decided to include them in the staff and accordingly changed the structure of the unit, the range of weapons and tactics of action. And now it is necessary to introduce new staff units into the army, and not keep them as separate exclusive units.

I think the Chinese industry will cope.
I'm wondering when our factories will at least establish mass production of electric motors and batteries?

I suppose the frame is printed on Chinese 3D printers. Well, what can I say without a mat, a raw material superpower on Chinese props .. And for this, the “deep” people vote over and over again, they have completely lost their minds.

—- If there are not enough nails, then you need to produce them MORE and more efficiently. Inventing something new is not a way to quickly satisfy needs.

—- New drones are good, maybe cheaper than CUBA, which is similar in terms of the declared characteristics. But carcass printing is as advanced now as air-spray painting.

Well, I don’t know, casting or stamping is cheaper and faster. I understand the shanks for the VOG to print, and here is the whole body of the drone, most likely no smaller than a cornet. How long will it take, it's good if there are a lot of printers ...

The device with a carrying capacity of 5 kg is capable of delivering strikes at a distance of up to 7 km.

Range is not impressive. It turns out that the operator should sit almost on the LBS. And this is a danger to him to fall under the return distribution.
There would be a range of 50 kilometers, at least the possibility of loitering for 40 minutes .... It would be possible to send to the rear with sharovar.

[Poplar]

I don't think so. Firstly, this drone, judging by the characteristics, is not intended for operations in the deep rear. Secondly, communication with the operator, as written, is carried out through a repeater drone, i.e. the operator's position can be moved slightly to the rear. In general, each task should have its own tool, so the main thing is to give our guys a sufficient number of different tools. As they say: more drones are good and different.

Why? That control is carried out through a drone repeater.

[Russian jacket]

Reassuring news. Well, if so. And it's been weird lately. The President talks about the blindness of intelligence, which reports on the vile behavior of the enemy, who does not follow the example of our geniuses, and vilely masks the equipment thrown at night. And everything would be fine. But ... lies and window dressing do not disappear. And the priority for new positions is not pros with their own opinions, but characters with a rough tongue. I'm still waiting for the border guards to show the results of the artillery strike on the DRG that entered Russia, which they valiantly released (like ousted) to be destroyed back to Ukraine. And what is the color of the red lines now?

[Silver99]

Oh, where did you get it, the border guards do not have artillery and attack aircraft, and the times when Karatsupa sat with a dog under every bush have passed, everything is at the mercy of technology, the response time to violation of the border has decreased due to the small number of personnel. The border with Ukraine generally wants better equipment, there are sections where it runs right through settlements, the street divides the two states. In the days of the USSR, work was carried out in the adjacent territory to obtain information about the upcoming breakthroughs of gangs, this is not an easy task to stop such a massive breakthrough, another thing is that there should be a plan "B" to neutralize violators with attached parts of the same National Guard.

[Saburov_Alexander53]

Yes, it was more reliable with a dog... And the current, it slowly flows through the wires, and while it is being transformed into a sound or an image, time passes. Plus time to comprehend the signal and report to a superior. And at that time he was walking the dog ... The circle closed and the scouts fled. Let's go to the signal fires...

if piece production is cheaper, but serious mass production of at least a thousand pieces, then a mold will be preferable. But judging by the text of the article, it doesn’t even smell of any serious production.

A cannon-machine-gun drone of the battlefield is required, an analogue of the IL-2. Armed, 1 GSh-23 and 2 YaKBu-12,7. With pusher propeller and engine armor. I don’t understand why everyone rested on kamikaze? It is clear that satellite control will be needed, but after all, a drone for direct infantry support is needed so that it can comb through cannons and machine guns, and not just throw a grenade.

Hope this isn't a budget cut. With the declared characteristics: warhead-5 kg, range - 7 km, it can become competitive if it costs a penny, and production will be massive.

It's sad that the problem with drones has not been solved. It's the second year of the NWO, and the drone is "still there."

A whole hundred? This will completely change the whole situation

[Nexcom]

Here is the news....

Andrey Bratenkov, executive director of the Spektr Engineering design bureau, announced the development of the Hedgehog ground drone, which is designed to destroy armored vehicles.

“The Hedgehog ground drone has been created, which is capable of carrying a payload of up to 5 kilograms. The range of its work is up to 5 kilometers. The platform is able to maintain mobility, no matter how it is turned over, ”TASS quotes the director of the design bureau as saying.

Bratenkov also said that the new drone could be used to destroy the enemy, who is hiding in the trenches, since he could deliver a mine there. In addition, a wheeled drone, as noted by the director of the bureau, "Hedgehog" will be the best solution in terms of the cost of the process, as well as survivability.

And what? Kurchevsky's cause lives on and wins! He offered such things even before the Great Patriotic War. Yep, the same one. And not only offered, but also ripped a bunch of people's money into these "automatic tankettes". They were, however, slightly larger. But budget money ate just as cheerfully. Kurchevsky, however, was shot for these tricks, as well as his patron, Tukhachevsky ...

[Serge9901]

Right . I will only add one more thing - this is being printed in order to somehow reduce the level of popular indignation about the infantilism of the Moscow Region. So they are trying to "suck in" us another "69% have no analogues". There is no point in "rearranging the beds" for a long time. And the order to Bulgakov is a vivid confirmation of the rot of the system.

[trenkkvaz]

I think that all these small drones with a small payload and range are momentary garbage. Parroting after the enemy.
It is necessary to refine artillery shells so that they hit with pinpoint accuracy.
The only kamikaze drones worth developing are the Lancet counterparts.
Long range, and the ability to hit armored vehicles.

[Storog dvornik]

Judging by the printing of the drone body on a 3D printer, the production facilities are artisanal... The body of the required dimensions with acceptable characteristics based on the device's carrying capacity will print at least 10-12 hours... Even on 10-20 devices, this is no more than 20-40 units per day, 600-1200 per month ... So-so circulation for disposable ammunition ... HANDICRAFT and fraud ...
Real manufacturers of plastic products, without a job, cast 500-1000 units per shift into classic molds from one classic thermoplastic machine ... Any brewery can print cases into the desired shapes instead of bottles, with a slight upgrade of iron ...

[the same doctor]

Everything is fine. But we must understand that the current drones correspond to the ideology of the late 90s. Their weaknesses will soon be exposed and their effectiveness will drop. Modern electronics allows much more and requires paradoxical non-obvious solutions.
.
The fact that they have mastered the repeater drone is very good. This idea is one of the main ones in the drones of the future. Now we must come to terms with the fact that this drone will live as long as an air defense missile needs to fly to it. The obvious conclusion: they need a lot. Non-obvious...
