In the US, completed regular tests of strategic UAV AGS

Northrop Grumman, together with NATO specialists, tested a strategic drone AGS reports Look with reference to the resource N + 1.

"Testing drone, developed in the interests of NATO on the basis of RQ-4 Global Hawk, recognized as successful," - said in a statement.

According to the publication, “during the AGS flight, the operation of the joint control system was checked, which will allow transferring control of the drone from one operator to another, in addition, it also allows the drone to fly in semi-automatic mode in a single airspace”.

The rest of the new UAV is not much different from the base Global Hawk Block 40, their unification is 94%.

All in all, NATO has ordered 5 drones. The point of their home will be Sigonella air base (Italy).

According to the resource, "the purchase of drones was paid for by 15 of NATO member countries: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and the USA."

It is noted that the devices will be used in the interests of the entire unit. UAVs are scheduled to be commissioned in 2017.

Help edition: “AGS with a length of 14,5 meter and wingspan of the 39,9 meter will be able to fly at speeds up to 630 kilometers per hour. The device will be able to be in the air up to 32 hours and rise to the height of 18,3 thousand meters. "

New, "promising" and what an expensive target for the S-400?

[Basarev]

Only one thing is bad: we ourselves do not have such drones and are not expected in the foreseeable future. Screwdriver assembly of obsolete Israeli devices - that's all we can do.

This is which side to look ...
If on the part of necessity and expediency - I think you can accelerate and do it. How fast I can’t judge, but not exactly the five-year plan.
If you look from one of the towers of the Kremlin, it’s not realistic for the reasons:
1) ...
2) ...
3) ...
Substitute instead of points any nonsense which only comes to your mind. Everything will be true.
In fact, you can do everything. No one bothers just to steal. China somehow does not complex. We are alone fluffy.

For you the foreseeable future is about how long? Month, year, five years? The articles below are about 2016.

By the way, your comments in these topics are not. Maybe you just didn’t read it?

Few people knew recently that we can make cruise missiles. Yes, and there is no country that can do everything. Time will tell ...

recently when is it? USSR from the 50s of the Kyrgyz Republic produced

[Sivan]

This refers to strategic high-precision missiles of the type of boiled Tomahawks. We didn’t use Caliber and X-101 before Syria, so many people didn’t know what they were.

[Hon]

We didn’t use nuclear weapons either, but they know about him

[Travian]

But how in 50 years a missile was aimed at a target for 1500 km? and bending around the landscape along a broken route

[Hon]

Well for the 50s your demanded I'm overpriced
Well, for example, KS-1 was adopted in the 53rd

Length: 8,29 m
Diameter: 0,92 m
Rocket Height: 1,2 m
Wingspan: 4,77 m
Starting weight: 2760 kg
Flight speed: M = 0,9
Firing range: 90 km
Application Height:
Guidance System: Radar
The mass of the warhead: up to 600 kg

[evge-malyshev]

No need to panic. We will have to do it. By the way, the first winged drones (for example, KS-1 and the whole family based on it) were first made with us. Then there was a whole family of Tupolev drones, both shock and reconnaissance.

[Travian]

We do not have strategic UAVs yet, but we already have a lot of smaller reconnaissance radius. And they are successfully used in the Donbass.

[boni592807]

Not so bad men ... As one of the heroes of my childhood film used to say: "... whoever hinders us, he will help us ..."
We read - "According to the resource," 15 NATO member countries paid for the purchase of drones: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and the United States. " that the devices will be used in the interests of the entire unit. The drones are planned to be put into service in 2017. "
Conclusions: 1. Approximately in 2017 our Baltic "partners" will have. They are at the forefront of Russia "wanting to take over".
2. And of course, these new and very useful things in the household will fly on our border.
3.And then, God willing ... and come in handy. I think so

It's a fig to throw expensive missiles from Triumph when there is a more budgetary, clumsy master, His Majesty Carapace. Rackets are small but nimble. С400 has more important things to do, for example, Grumble: "You don't go there, you move there, atoms 40Н6Е in your head papaded, you wake up with stealth"

[Thunderbolt]

You also need to try to knock it off with the "Shell" from 18 km.

At such an altitude, the only one who poses a danger - TR-1 - is a client with 200 and 400, and this pepelats poses a danger of reconnaissance at altitudes up to 5 thousand meters. That is, the client for the Shell, Thor And for the Willow

[Travian]

different attack radius

[Juborg]

What to say, well done, they know how to invest money and get returns. We would like that (in Russia!), Otherwise everything is in one hand. I didn’t put an article. To put a minus, for stating the fact that a potential enemy is arming every day, is unfair, to put a plus, for the same, it is to approve this weapon against your country. So this is information for consideration, and apparently not for our men, but for statesmen, who are thus stealing the budget and the Defense Ministry, did not pass this fact (recent detention of the deputy Defense Minister and his accomplices). And they monitor and count and still manage to steal.

C-400 missiles are also not cheap, but this goal is not a pity, there is no pilot in it. you launch such dozens in order to destroy those same C-400, even if they do not reach, they will make you turn on the radars and light up

How blasphemous for many this will sound, but any large drone is a hundred percent potential victim of any fighter plane! Visibility is large, speed and maneuverability are none! Opportunity to evade - no, take an air battle - can not.
It is enough to have a few fencing fenders in the area, even the Mig-21 working on the guidance of ground-based radars, and that’s all. The area is closed from drones ...

[Denis Obukhov]

Once again, cyclists will chase the desert.

[Denis Obukhov]

And will they give countries to the countries that paid for these drones they will steer or will they admire their shares in the purchase only in the photo?

[Same lech]

According to the resource, "the purchase of drones was paid for by 15 of NATO member countries: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and the USA."

So that's why every little thing in NATO is needed ... they will pay for themselves and for that guy in WASHINGTON.

[Vladimirets]

Travelers especially need such UAVs.

AGS UAV based on the already developed Global Hawk Block 40 design is a serious machine.

The constant presence of such UAVs in southern Europe will have a positive effect on NATO's awareness of the location and movement of women and refugees in northern Africa, which should help the coalition to timely eliminate the relevant threats.

So let it fly, rather, we would have had big UAVs, they are very necessary in local conflicts like Syria. Significantly improve the awareness of the command of the situation on the earth.

[doework]

Good global scout, in vain you criticize him like that. They will let him go along the border of the Russian Federation. With such a radius and height, and with multi-channel sensors, he will see everything that is needed, and then he will transmit it anywhere. And maybe the goal will also highlight ..
We would need such vehicles, and not Tu-22, to chase photo reconnaissance, as it was in one southern republic ...

[Tusv]

do not drive Tu-22 for photo reconnaissance

And who do you order to conduct photo intelligence? Especially under the condition of 30% of the best air defense in the world went to the former Soviet republics

[LVMI1980]

some kind of clumsy (from an engineering point of view), it looks more like a toy and not a weapon system

[NDA]

the dimensions are impressive .. under his wings at the time of returning to the base we will hide the T50 PAK :)

[voyaka uh]

It is surprising that the Europeans did not master their development, but hired
American Northrop Grumman. In my opinion, just laziness.

You carefully look at the performance characteristics, there the R&D price is at the level of creating a modern aircraft. Why did the Europeans invest in creating another strategic UAV, if there is an American model, they did everything right.

this is such a distant example of the fact that you do not always need to do everything yourself.

Good characteristics ... But our REBka will send it to a coma! Infa146% ... ask Cook :) And you won’t have to spend the Triumph rocket :))

[shans2]

Global hawks fly even higher (20 km), this is probably a cheaper replacement for them ...

[aviator1913]

no, it is also 18 km, but the engines can drag it to 21.5, but apparently something already fails at this height, so the 18 ceiling ...
