Unmanned fleet-convertor tested in Rusia

The aircraft was developed in Tatarstan under the order of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. The flight range of the convertoplane is 100 kilometers.

The unmanned aerial vehicle-converter, developed in Tatarstan, successfully passed the test. This was announced by the rector of the Kazan National Research Technical University named after Tupolev Albert Gilmutdinov.

"Convertoop, which takes off like a helicopter, and then flies like an airplane, is tested, really flies. It was commissioned by the Russian Defense Ministry, "Gilmutdinov said at the Kazan ACTO-2018 exhibition.

According to him, the flight range of the convertoplan is 100 kilometers, and the cruising speed is about 140 kilometers per hour.

Takeoff mass of the drone is 6.7 kilograms, while it is capable of lifting into the air a payload of up to one kilogram.

1 kilogram payload?

Was this highschool shop class project?

How odd, even the SDB has at least a 17kg of explosives.

This is an UVA below 7 kg weight! What payload should be expected?

ZALA AERO unveils a new unmanned vehicle at the international forum "Army-2018"

The ZALA 421-16E5V2 unmanned vehicle from ZALA AERO , the leading manufacturer of integrated solutions in the field of unmanned aerial systems (part of JSC "Concern" Kalashnikov "), was presented for the first time at the International Military Technical Forum" Army-2018 ".

The advantageous advantages of the ZALA 421-16E5V2 unmanned system are the flight duration, which is 14 hours, which will make it possible to fly from Izhevsk to Moscow, having covered a distance of more than 1200 kilometers. Particular attention in the development of the complex was paid to ergonomics during operation and transportation, which allowed reducing the aircraft's weight to 30 kilogram
s.

The target load of up to 5 kilograms weight allows the simultaneous integration of 6 different cameras to perform tasks at an altitude of up to 5000 meters at day and night, excluding forced landing for the replacement of optoelectronic equipment.

For the first time for the unmanned complex, a unique target load of air laser scanning has been developed. The technology provides data on the terrain under study, including terrain, detects disguised objects and their characteristics, including any changes in the natural environment.

Used in the development of innovative approaches to solving technical and operational problems, highlight the novelty among the entire world market. For the first time in its class, the ZALA 421-16E5V2 unmanned system uses an automated data processing system to efficiently solve problems of optical-electronic reconnaissance, aerial photography in the visible and infrared ranges, conduct electronic reconnaissance, and retransmit video and voice communications.

At the moment the unmanned complex is in the stage of factory testing.

 The ZALA AERO group of companies is the leading Russian manufacturer of unmanned aerial systems, target loads and other technical means to ensure their use.
The main products are integrated solutions in the field of unmanned aerial systems, communications, software and security systems.

Looks great but i think in the vídeo says 120km range?

Weird

Hypersonic drones???

Probably a suicide drone or some kind of cruise missile/drone thing.

Reconnaissance + strike? Interceptor?

Hypersonic propulsion is something you want back at home and not in the hands of the enemy, even if the engine is destroyed, the materials are can be analysed, and it is also probably not cheap. So, a drone makes sense.

more than 1 year ago Borisov mentioned about an "orbital bomber" which can start and land form normal airfields. The Info was demented and that he was just talking the talk...Same time he mentioned VSTOL too

Propably an enlarged Avangard?

Avangard isnt passive? Drone would suggest own power and ability to return base. Otherwise why call it drone not a Cruise Missile?

Larger for engines and the other stuff. Same shape and materials.

I'd love to see this

Okhotnik will apparently take off for the first time in September. It wont be a fully fledged flight but rather short jumps... first flight 2019

http://tass.ru/armiya-i-opk/5482044

Maybe we can see it at least during these tests?

we will in a traditional to Russian media way: first army's gonna put top secret on it. Then in Janes or National Interest will be an article with candid pics. Then Russian press will repost it and et voila. We'll see

Better to have the fundaments right that only caring about PR, this is how I comfort myself with the way they deal with the media

BTW, apparently Orion has got the first international customer, some mysterious country in ME...

Unless Algeria is in ME then right to me its in North Africa

Is it officially Algeria? ME is what I read, maybe they are getting weak in geography

Source: RAC "MiG" has resumed work on the drone drone "Scat"


It is reported that the design of the UAV will use the technology "stealth"

"The company has resumed work on the" Scat ". An experimental model of this jet UAV is planned to be created in the next few years," the source said. He clarified that "the Russian military department was interested in this apparatus."

The previously presented "Scat" model was made according to the aerodynamic scheme "flying wing" [does not have a tail unit]. It was planned that the maximum take-off mass of the device would be 10 tons, speed - 850 km / h, the range of flight - 4 thousand km. The UAV was supposed to carry both missile and bomb weapons in the interior of the cabin.

Too late Mikoyan. You are way too far behind. Others in Russia are developing it already while you sat and waited.

ekhm so who already has stealth attack high-subsonic drone yet?
BTW with no funding what would you do on their place?

Well, apparently someone is already making it. As mentioned earlier. Or it may not be stealth. But still, just started work?

If I was in their place, I wouldn't have made MiG-35, that's for sure. I would have moved onto a LO fifth gen design instead. They tried to go for the Su-35 line but years later...
