Airborne enlarged unit drones

Creating a new unit will be completed in three to five years. This was stated by the commander of the airborne troops, Vladimir Shamanov. It is also known that the Airborne Forces should get all the UAVs they need before the 2015 year.

Drones proved to be an effective means of reconnaissance and combat. They are also used to detect enemy anti-aircraft installations and deliver cargo.

“On an emergency basis, such units are available to our gunners, sappers, and air defense. In the future, the calculations of small-sized portable unmanned aerial vehicles will appear both in parachute and assault airborne units, ”General Shamanov said.

And the representative of the Ministry of Defense for the Airborne Forces, Major Irina Kruglova, told reporters that the first batch of short-range UAVs had already arrived to equip the reconnaissance units of the Airborne Forces. The military personnel began to master the new technology. Park renewal drones, according to her, will continue until 2015.

The new devices will replace the outdated short-range reconnaissance aircraft Stroy-P and Pchela-1T, which were used in two Chechen campaigns.

do the right thing

With our open spaces, we are simply obliged to have drones, both military and civilian. I recall a video report how in one of the foreign countries they saved a drowning person using a helicopter with a thermal imager, they really showed a person live on the background of the river with a bright spot, and rescuers running to help him saw more bright spots. that is, a person in a river has already begun to cool down to cool, without a thermal imager they would vryatly find it. Different equipment can also be attached to drones that helps in a variety of areas: in the forestry sector - to identify poachers, illegal logging, fires; in oil - oil leaks, illegal taps to the pipeline; geology and much more.

I agree. UAVs are even more economical than helicopters, although their tasks are the same and different.

I think in the future our defense will be, if not half or a quarter automated, there will be more unmanned aerial vehicles, be it a robot, drones, or strike complexes. The principle of a long arm, I hope we will not see the second Stalingrad.

it’s high time, Shamanov well done! Maybe thanks to the Russian Airborne Forces, they will pay attention to the domestic development of UAVs and their share in the rest of the troops will increase, but first I think the equipment priority should be given to the Airborne Forces, since in case of military operations break through the enemy’s air defense system with the least loss and greatest efficiency is needed with the help of UAVs

The new UAV for these purposes is somehow a pity. It is better to get any maintainable trash from the storage bases and make UAVs from them. Armed with VZ missiles and crush air defense with them. By the way, the Americans did just that with their F-4 Phantom - QF-4 and the old F-16 - QF-16. Cheap and efficient.

the fact of the matter is that "maintainable trash", as you say, in this case will serve as a "target" for air defense systems and enemy aircraft, after all, high visibility for enemy radars, I would put the question not much differently - how much the state and Are the military interested in R&D in this area, in the fastest possible implementation and development of new tactics and strategies, taking into account the use of modern UAVs?

Oh, I would have drunk them!

percussion is already developing okb dry and instant.

[Atrix]

And where are those people who scream that drones are rubbish that are needed only for the war with the poits. That they will be drowned out in the first minutes of the war or brought down by electro-magnetic guns

[Retx]

We have our popouas in Central Asia.

[borisjdin1957]

Catch up again !? Whoever missed or ignored the breakthrough in the development of UAVs? Where are the landings?

[elmir15]

Surely the achievements were already just bureaucrats, as always ruined projects, and then, as always, you have to catch

Amerikos-drone helicopter (made by Norwegians) is placed in the palm of your hand http://clck.ru/8clS3 I am sure that they can do no worse for us if they just don’t interfere. And if you help ..

[Canep]

For the acquisition of pilots, it would be nice to revive aircraft modeling circles throughout the country with the state. financing. Schoolchildren will glue them themselves, and with modern electronics their crafts can be even better than industrial designs.

That's right! It's time for us to buy UAVs in the military

... It's the budget cut, you followed in the footsteps of America, how it can be so ... It’s even not funny. When Americans launch drones, it’s totally an unnecessary gravitap to disperse the poets, and when Russia is really yes the right thing turns out

[waisson]

Shamanov said that meaning is correct ideas there is a way into the life of the Airborne Forces should keep up with the changing technology

[darksoul]

The main advantage of drones is the lives of our pilots

[qx56v8]

What is this strange modification ??? Mi-8 PP chtoli? or PPP ... or which one ... their millions of modifications ...

[atesterev]

A helicopter flies and carries a nuclear bomb ...
