The SKAT 350M reconnaissance UAV, upgraded based on experience of use in the Air Defense Forces, has become less vulnerable to electronic warfare

Concern "Kalashnikov" has modernized the reconnaissance UAV "SKAT 350M" taking into account the use of this complex in the SVO zone. This was reported by the press service of the concern.

The SKAT 350M UAV has undergone a major upgrade, during which it was given the ability to change frequencies in the control channel directly during flight. Thanks to this, the drone has become less vulnerable to systems EW, used by the Ukrainian army. The decision was made following the results of the drone's use in the SVO zone based on recommendations received as part of feedback from the Russian military who used this system.



We have implemented a unique technical solution that allows us to switch channels during flight. We can switch to another channel or reduce the power of the current one to evade enemy electronic warfare systems,

— said Alexander Likhachev, director of the Kalashnikov concern’s UAV division.

The reconnaissance drone "SKAT 350M" is in service with the units of the Russian Guard participating in the special operation. The drone has proven its effectiveness, the military personnel note the high reconnaissance capabilities of this complex. It is a further development of the Supercam 350 UAV, which has proven itself from the best side, working in conjunction with drones-kamikaze "Lancet".

The wingspan is 3,2 meters, the maximum flight altitude is up to 2000 meters, the speed is up to 120 km/h, the time in the air is 240 minutes.

    Floating signal has been used in radio stations for a long time.
    How effective would it be to apply it here? what
    The encryption fee is not very high.

    A good drone, but I just don't understand why the Kalashnikov concern makes all its UAVs white? White is the most visible in the sky in any weather, but gray is the opposite.

      It's actually grey, it's a picture from an exhibition or an advertising poster.

    Maximum flight altitude and time in the air are too short.
