Israeli UAV Searcher was tested by Russian frosts

36
According to a source in the Russian military, assembled in accordance with the agreement between the Israeli company IAI and the Russian company Oboronprom, Searcher MkII unmanned aerial vehicles (in the Russian version - Forpost) began to pass acceptance tests to representatives of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

Israeli UAV Searcher was tested by Russian frosts


UAV flights were carried out in difficult weather conditions. The air temperature during the flights reached -28 degrees Celsius, which actually refuted the earlier speculations in the Russian press regarding the "heat-loving" Israeli drones.



“This is exactly the case when facts are better than words,” said one of the leading Russian experts in the field of UAVs, the chief editor of the UAV.RU website, Denis Fedutinov, “the fact that Israel is a country with a warm climate does not in itself mean that Israelis cannot create drones suitable for exploitation in Russia. "



According to Fedutinov, "devices of this class are capable of flying at altitudes up to 5-6 thousand meters, where negative temperatures often occur, which means that the UAV itself initially allows flights at low temperatures." “Perhaps, some modifications of the system as a whole could be required to prepare for the flight at sub-zero temperatures right at the start. If so, then they apparently were made successfully,” the expert summarizes. The production of the Searcher MkII (Outpost) and Bird Eye 400 UAVs from Israeli assembly kits in 2012 was established at UZGA in Yekaterinburg owned by Oboronprom.



Recall that in March 2011, at the Kubinka Air Force Base of Russia, an Israeli and Russian unmanned vehicle planned for use in the interests of the Russian Ministry of Defense was shown. Then the Israeli military leadership were shown the Israeli systems of the Bird Eye 400 mini-class and the medium-range Searcher MkII, as well as Russian-made mini-UAVs, selected based on comparative tests conducted in the autumn of the 2010 year. Moreover, if the Russian systems were exhibited only on a static platform, then the Israeli systems were also shown in action. The Searcher MkII UAV then flew about 6 hours in the vicinity of the Kubinka airfield at altitudes up to 5 km, transmitting the image to the ground control station in real time.

      Russian press speculation about the "thermophilicity" of Israeli drones.
      ______________
      Well, we know where the false articles about Israeli UAVs come from and to whose order
      I said earlier that the losers in the person of the Vega concern and others (who at one time shoved 5 billion allocated for domestic blahs into their pockets) and gave us the squalor of Tippak who crap in Ossetia - trying to grab more fat again
      1) about the Israeli blas - that is, in India in the highlands it flies in Poland and other countries too, but we don’t ???

      UAV Searcher is not a fresh variant, but the Traitor is something no one will sell us
      so at the moment it’s better to have a proven and reliable option than to have nothing
      also do not forget about the swelling of manufacturers who, without the patronage of the Vega concern, make good blah near zone

            Met, welcome! The Israeli Air Force is training in the Southern Carpathians, in particular in Romania, since firstly, in Israel, due to the size, there is practically nowhere, Secondly, on the ground close to the mountainous regions of Iran, they are practicing military tactics in this country.

            The IDF gave particular preferences to the Southern Carpathians in Romania. The local area, not very familiar to Israeli pilots, resembles the mountain ranges of Zagros and Elburz (not to be confused with Elbrus) in Iran. It has long been classified as unclassified that Tehran is hiding a significant number of nuclear facilities in a network of tunnels and bunkers dug in the mountains. Apparently, the Israeli command of the Israeli pilots set the task to work out in the Southern Carpathians raid and landing operations on the ground, in many ways similar to the Iranian one.

          and there are not weak frosts

          Can you tell me all the physics for the 7th grade?
          No?
          Then let me tell you - The lowest part of the atmosphere adjacent directly to the Earth’s surface is called the troposphere. It is in it that the bulk of weather events occur and in it passenger planes can fly. The height of the troposphere is not the same everywhere: at the poles it reaches 9-10 km, and at the equator - up to 18 km. An interesting feature of this layer is its temperature regime - each subsequent 100 meters of height is colder than the previous ones by about 0,65 ° C. This leads to the fact that at the "ceiling" of the troposphere, frost is observed from -50 to -56 ° C.
          The troposphere is crowned with the so-called tropopause - a layer of air with a thickness of hundreds of meters to 2-3 km. In this layer, the temperature practically ceases to fall, however, it can reach -70 ° C above the equator. As you can see, up to this point it is getting colder and colder, but what next?
          And then everything changes. The stratosphere is located above the troposphere, its lower layers always remain as cold as the upper part of the tropopause. However, as the altitude rises, the temperature begins to rise! To a height of 25 km, this growth is insignificant - the stratosphere here warms up to -56 ° С. And then there is a sharp jump in temperature increase and at an altitude of 40 km it becomes completely warm - about 0 ° C. This temperature remains for the next 15 km - to the border of the stratopause, outlining the transition from the stratosphere to the next layer.


          And more:

            The Tier II Plus UAV must be able to conduct continuous reconnaissance at high altitude. It should have a range of more than 5500 km and have the ability to barrage over the reconnaissance area for more than 24 hours at an altitude of more than 18300 m.

              There is no scale, but there is a concept


              Here is another example with a temperature that characterizes the degree of heating of a substance, but not the amount of heat. For example, lowering a hand in water, we can say whether the water is cool or warm (this is the concept), but we cannot determine how much heat is in it (i.e., relatively speaking, how long this water will cool).
              There is still frost resistance-- the ability of various materials (concrete, plastics, rubbers, etc.) to withstand multiple alternate cooling to temperatures below 0 ° C and heating without signs of destruction or a significant decrease in strength. They are characterized by: coefficient! hi

                and there are not weak frosts what can be attributed to the concept.
                Cold most likely affects not so much the design of the airframe as the change in the conductivity of semiconductors. Insulate electronics and you can fly. Anti-icers created a long time, construction materials for gliders too, I don’t see a particular problem.

      Makar bought an UAV -
      The rollback was ... dofiga.
      Israel put us in the GS -
      There are no perpetrators ...

      Presumably, General Makarov and his crystal-clear environment without any kickbacks and personal offshore accounts there, solely out of stupidity, spent more than 50 million budget dollars and are planning to use an even larger amount in the near future (on May 5 Victory Day arrived in Israel a representative delegation led by the general director of Oboronservis OJSC Sergey Khursevich in order to continue to successfully develop Russian budget funds there by purchasing another large batch of 24 Israeli AERONAUTICS LTD UAV systems with bookmarks, agreeing on important and delicate financial details, joyful and the cheerful delegates left for their homeland on May 12. None of them are afraid of arrest). Makarov and his comrades spent our money on Trojan flying horses from Israel (not to be confused with Pegasus), but, in fact, on the enemy intelligence system with bookmarks and external control.
      The bookmarks worked the other day. The first attempt from outside to take control of the UAV during the training flight was thwarted. But it was followed by a second attempt from outside to seize control of the Drone, which was a success. The UAV’s control was intercepted, and the BIRD-I Ai 400 UAV, which was under the external control, flew off to shoot a secret object of the Russian Ministry of Defense, continuously transmitting telemetry information somewhere. UAV disappeared. Return to the base according to the regular algorithms did not happen. Having completed its reconnaissance mission according to the Israeli bookmarking and satellite control algorithms, the 220th Drone clearly laughed at the territory of the aforementioned top-secret security facility of the Russian Ministry of Defense, where it was discovered by ground search groups.
      Needless to say, all the officers of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation who reported to the leadership of the ministry about the criminal and sabotage nature of such purchases have all been dismissed from the ranks of the armed forces of the Russian Federation

      Russia asked Israel to sell her a small batch of the newest unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). And they sold her, in fact, yesterday. Israel reacted very nervously to any attempts by Russia to assist Iran in developing a peaceful nuclear program. But as soon as Moscow supported the idea of ​​other countries - parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons that Tel Aviv disclose its "nuclear research" and nuclear arsenals to the world - it immediately took the pose of the offended. Specialists calculated that due to Russia's refusal to At the request of Israel, our state treasury missed a chance to get about $ 20 billion in export of military equipment to the Middle East countries. Someone will say that political profit is much more important than financial. I agree. But provided that this takes into account the interests of all parties.

          Russia is able to rivet equipment itself.

          Not yet able, as there is nothing to rivet, and a 25-year gap could not be cut so quickly

    If you have managed to make such an unmanned drone, the assessment is excellent. Joint military cooperation will only be beneficial. Unfortunately, we need to establish one fact Russia is still lagging behind in this area, although there are all reserves (scientific and financial) for this. I think that in the very near future Russia will have a drone of its own design.

      A proprietary drone will appear in Russia.

      A naked drone will not make the "weather" either. For the troops, of course, it is not a quick matter, but it is very necessary. And, as for our capabilities, they are there and I want to see Our vehicles, with their own filling.

    “Perhaps some modifications to the system as a whole could be required to prepare for flight in subzero temperatures immediately at the start.
    A glass of vodka and a warm coat, tossed some firewood and rushed. And what's next? Proceeding from "THIS" or will we invent our own?

      We once had the best drone in the world - "Buran". The Americans are only trying to create something similar. So isn't it time to resume the project taking into account the current technologies and threats from the West?

        .Americans are just trying to create something like that.

        It's just a FIRE. You are completely off topic about how Buran’s autopilot worked, or are you trying to convince yourself of something?

          Why not in the topic? Very much in the topic. And something was wrong? Explain. The task is completed, the report went to us. What's the problem? Maybe you know more, so write what the wind is in vain to create. And I'm not trying to convince anyone. Fact is fact. Amam is far from that.
