The Russian company has developed an aircraft-type jet strike FPV drone

The special military operation in Ukraine is already rightly called the “war drones”, the presence of which in the troops, as it turned out, in the conditions of modern hostilities often plays a decisive role in achieving success on the battlefield. By the beginning of the special operation, Russia, unfortunately, did not have both a large number of various UAVs and a wide choice of its own technologies for their development and mass production.

The situation began to change by the autumn of last year, when, on behalf of the president and with the assistance of the government, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, mass development began in the country drones various types for the needs of the armed forces. The programs for the creation and production of unmanned aerial vehicles now involve both large scientific centers and enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex, as well as private companies.

One such enterprise, the Ural-based company Unmanned Vehicles, has developed the K-5 jet-powered FPV strike drone of the K-21 aircraft type, colloquially called the “kamikaze drone”. A prototype of the new UAV was presented at the second specialized exhibition "Equipment", held on April 22-XNUMX in one of the pavilions of VDNKh in Moscow.

We made the UAV reactive in order to get speed. Maneuvering capabilities allow you to move at such a speed

- a representative of the developer company told the correspondent RIA News.

The software control of the drone is carried out using the "artificial intelligence" function, which allows the device to work offline. Computer optics makes it possible to recognize thermal signatures and visual patterns.

According to a company representative, the operator will have to move the loitering ammunition to the target area, and the on-board system will independently direct it to a specific target.

The drone is capable of covering a distance of up to 90 kilometers, while developing a cruising speed of up to 200 km/h, in afterburner mode – up to 400 km/h. The mass of the UAV payload (combat stuffing) is six kilograms.

Now the drone is undergoing the stage of flight tests, which is planned to be completed before the end of the year. The series will produce both attack and reconnaissance versions of the UAV. All components, with the exception of the engine, are domestic, said a representative of the Unmanned Vehicles company.

We made the UAV reactive

And in the photo, the fighters are working with a screw apparatus. Increasingly, I see illustrations in articles that have nothing to do with the text.

[Argon]

The news has been hanging on Zen in the morning, there are real photos. I'm worried about the masses of warheads. What can such a charge?

[Orange Bigg]

Photo.

The warhead of 6 kg is approximately the same as that of the Lancet-3 (5,5 kg).

The drone is equipped with artificial intelligence and computer vision, thanks to which the drone can recognize visual patterns and thermal signatures. In the near future, the developers intend to adjust the inertial system in order to finally get rid of the radio channels. The representative of the company explained that the operator will have to bring the loitering ammunition to the target area, and the on-board system will independently guide the target.

They say that more powerful Geraniums worked at night.
Four powerful Shahed UAVs hit targets in Ukraine at night: two hit oil depots in different regions of the country, Sergei Kuyun, director of the A-95 consulting group, said. He said these were new, more powerful Shaheds.

[dmi.pris1]

Jet drone. Good. Where did you get the components? Chinese? times. But the engine for this drone is in warehouses, alas ... Otherwise, DAM would have looked dashing on a horse, with a jet engine in hand ..

[Myths]

There are many questions for the drone, yes it is needed, but such infrastructure and control are needed for the usual camera does not keep up. And this is the price of such a toy.

[topol717]

We have developed such drones, 20-30 pieces. And there is no analogue for all of them, only now we are still fighting mainly with shovels.

[Pivot]

No, not Chinese, these are Iranian jet engines.

[Dead duck]

the most striking thing is that there are enough craftsmen in the country who themselves build airplanes and home-made jet engines in garages, but the industry cannot master it.

[Jean Baptiste]

At the exhibition, such things in wartime should appear after a successful appearance in the fields, otherwise it looks like a depiction of vigorous activity.

[alexoff]

This is apparently not a military plant, it’s not a fact that they can even experience something in battles and they have access to explosives. They are trying to attract the attention of the military to themselves

[Pivot]

And why be a military factory, since the beginning of the year more drones have been manufactured in workshops than the entire military industry since 1991.

[Dead duck]

under an agreement or contract, many firms (civilian) began to work.

[Virus-free crown]

judging by the article - the components are all foreign ... well, they don’t produce small-sized computers in our country, so that AI would work on them ... but at least this way !!!

[igorbrsv]

Strange. We produce boards to order, produce soldering, software for specific needs, please, but there is no small-sized computer? We almost never produce electronic components, with some exceptions. And they won't be soon. Well, at least the processors have mastered, although not advanced technology. A computer or machine will produce please. But not in big batches. It hasn't gotten to that point yet. Production is too small

[Virus-free crown]

You answered your own question

And read my previous post - "Thank God, at least on foreign components something will go into series")))

[sifgame]

Released on the basis of the Komdiv processor and AI will work on it

I look at my cons in this post... and the immortal lines immediately come to mind...

When from the Guards, some from the Court
They came here for a while:
Women were shouting: hurray!
And threw the cap into the air!

All components are foreign.

- well, not all, oddly enough, and there are almost none even "abroad" (and some at least do better and cheaper).

[Sulla__Glorious]

The Russian military managed to capture in the zone of the special military operation, the Warmate unmanned aerial system loitering. Photos of the kamikaze drone captured by the fighters have already been published on telegram channels.

According to open sources, the range of the Warmate aviation complex is small - only ten kilometers. The device can stay in the air for no more than half an hour, while developing a speed of up to 150 kilometers per hour.

It has a maximum takeoff weight of 4 kilograms and can carry up to 800 grams of explosives. At the same time, the type of combat heads can be different - depending on the purpose for which the unmanned aerial vehicle must work.

[Leshak]

It was developed well, but a year of testing and only then production and delivery to the troops ... No matter how outdated the development was by that time. During the war, the SVO should quickly organize the provision of the armed forces with the necessary means.

[alexoff]

What is the supply to the troops? The Ministry of Defense does not care about such shops, they are not interested in drones, they are not according to the charter

[sifgame]

Your sarcasm is inappropriate, the production of unmanned aircraft has increased

[Ezekiel 25-17]

I would like to see him on time and most importantly: in the CASE.

[Aviator_]

Now the drone is undergoing the stage of flight tests, which is planned to be completed before the end of the year. The series will be produced as a percussion, so reconnaissance options UAV. All components, except for the engine, are domestic

Does the reconnaissance WFD need it? Whose dvigun - Persian or Chinese? And flight tests should be carried out on the LBS, right now, and not on December 31.

. A special military operation in Ukraine is already rightly called the “war of drones”

I hope only drones will not remain from us. And then they will have to fight with Nata. But they won't negotiate.

[Nikolay Dyaglev]

The minus of the jet engine is its high temperature, which makes it possible to shoot it down from the Needle, etc. This Shahid is better because it does not give a temperature trace, you cannot knock him off the Needle. The only plus is speed. Of course, everything must be checked in combat conditions, what it will show

[Bolt cutter]

the possibility of knocking him out of the Needle

A Chinese copy of the jetcat microturbo engine costs about a thousand. Such a drone will be several times cheaper than a needle. Run a few - and all the needles will exhaust.

[solar]

This Shahid is better because it does not give a temperature trace, you cannot knock him off the Needle.

They completely shoot down, especially at low altitudes, the internal combustion engine has a quite sufficient temperature trace.
A small temperature footprint for the electric motors of small drones.

The only plus is speed.

Shaheeds have a similar speed

[Al manah]

Does anyone have open source statistics - how many models of drones developed, and how many of them launched into mass production? Arrange in percentage terms, not numerical. And then messages about more and more new developments are published constantly, and cases of application are associated with almost the only Lancet. Are all the rest hacked to death by MO commissions?

[alexoff]

You cannot start production at your own expense, and if the only buyer seems to need almost nothing, then there is no point in production. Lancet only in January began to expand in production, freeing the Izhevsk shopping center. Because the Ministry of Defense thinks for a long time, and then even longer thinks how to now redistribute the already divided funds between interested parties

[Al manah]

Well, the headline of the news reads "The Russian company has developed" - THE COMPANY! What kind of COMPANY is this, which cannot develop on its own not a space shuttle, but a child prodigy, a little more complicated than those that schoolchildren did at SYUT? And this is with modern element and software bases ... Probably, these are the companies that have one director (he is also the founder) and an authorized capital of 10 thousand rubles. - most of us have them, yes. And I strongly doubt that the same Persians use nanotechnologies from Skolkovo nanodevelopers in their drones.

[man]

I strongly doubt that the same Persians use nanotechnology from Skolkovo nanodevelopers in their drones.
you can be sure that they don’t use it for sure. If they used it, then the shaheeds would not take off at all, while they would cost 10 times more. Chubais products are easily recognizable ...

[1 z1]

Everything else is collected or bought by volunteers. And everything else is an attempt to get money for development and fine-tuning. In order to produce and supply, we need not developments (they are full of ready-made ones), but production facilities. And so far only Kalashnikov has them. Hence the lancets.

[Carlos Hall]

If they manage to give Kalashnikov's Zala Lancet more lethal power and manage to put it into mass production, their success on the battlefield will be enough with Geran 2

[Svetlana]

The main thing is not this. The main electronics, flight controllers and other crap for him to develop and produce himself.
And to develop something flying, on finished Chinese electronics, today, every second high school student can.

[75 Sergey]

What engine and whose?
Jet and only 200 km/h, little

[Nikolaevich I]

Quote: 75Sergey

Jet and only 200 km/h, little

200 km is cruising (so to speak, "average" ...) speed! And, apparently, the so-called micro-turbojet is used (I prefer to call it a mini-turbojet ...)! (Small dimensions and weight, but corresponding power!) However, at present, the popularity of such engines is growing due to the accelerated development of the "topic" of UAVs, as well as the emerging trend to put mini-turbojet engines on "small-sized" rockets instead of solid propellant rocket engines ...!

[cat hippopotamus]

Afterburner is already 400 km, when approaching the target, there is already more opportunity to destroy the same howitzer with calculation. Notice in the video how the calculation scatters, having heard the approach of the same Lancet. They manage to escape, although the gun is hit. And here, with such a dive, I hope and the calculation of the arm and leg breaks off.

[Ruslan Sledkov]

That's right - AI. Many problems are solved at once. The main thing is that the price does not go off scale.

[vovochkarzhevsky]

Here is something that every such report reminds me of this scene.

[Esaul]

From the description it looks like a bomb! This is a short comment.

[Al manah]

In Russia, they created the Stepashka anti-drone gun. The Russian company Lokatsionnaya Masterskaya (Lokmas) has developed the PARS-S Stepashka anti-drone gun, which can jam quadrocopters widely used during a special military operation (SVO). “Our most modern development (from those presented at the exhibition) was put into serial production two months ago. This is the PARS-S anti-drone gun, which suppresses all “user” (dual-purpose) drones operating in the NWO: Maviks, FPV, Autel and other common ones,” the company representative said. According to him, the development is being "run-in" at the landfills and in the NWO zone. Since the beginning of the special operation, the production of anti-drone guns at Lokmas has increased several times. Today the company releases hundreds of guns monthly.

[cat hippopotamus]

Well, whose engine, well, if it’s Chinese, then they will probably supply it. And so, in general, the "toy" turned out to be interesting and I hope it will show itself in combat use. Just don't delay testing. 6 kg. cumulative charge is already a force.

[Piramidon]

Not everything is so clear. The quadrics are already holding.

The Chinese online store AliExpress banned Russians from buying DJI and Autel quadrocopters. Visitors with a Russian IP address cannot even open the card of the desired UAV - they are in the search results, and the pages dedicated to them, according to AliExpress, are not available.

By the beginning of the special operation, Russia, unfortunately, did not have both a large number of various UAVs and a wide choice of its own technologies for their development and mass production.
And no one guessed the truth to tell the decision maker about the start of the special operation.
At least someone retired. At least of their own free will or upon reaching the age.
We, the citizens, elect the president.
But what about the President?
Did everyone in the MO have their asses covered in superglue and pressed against chairs? Now, or forever and ever, or breeches to tear and sparkle?
If there is any benefit from resignations (no punishment from heaven, no consequences with disassemblies and landings), then the whole country will turn away. No shame, no loss of rights.
Where would you find those who will always defend their ego, their family, their bank account, their Boss, their President second? And his country and everyone in the country in the first place.
