From otvaga: Quote The website of the Federal Service for Intellectual Property contains information on an industrial design of an unmanned interceptor aircraft developed by the Almaz-Antey Aerospace Defense Concern JSC. The UAV is controlled by the operator through on-board television systems for detecting, targeting and aiming. Shooting at target is implemented on the basis of the smooth-bore carbine "Vepr 12 Molot" of 12 caliber with electric trigger and box magazine for 10 rounds. The device makes shots in the automatic mode, continuing to fly with a given course, and if the target is not hit, then UAV can continue to follow the object without further adjusting the course.

LoooSeR Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Quote TsAMTO, 28 June. The control system of the UAV swarm for the massive strike "Staya-93" (Pack-93), developed by the Military Training Scientific Center of the Air Force of Russia (VUNC Zhukovsky, Voronezh), was presented at the stand of the Russian Defense Ministry at the Army-2019 forum. As reported by RIA Novosti, Senior Lecturer at VUNTZ Air Force, Colonel Dmitry Lopatkin, “in each such swarm of drones there is a "master" and "followers". The "followers" see the lead through infrared cameras. In the case of the defeat of the master another UAV from the swarm takes its place. The number of UAVs in the swarm can be increased to infinity - it all depends on the specific combat mission. " The interlocutor of the agency explained that the "Pack-93" is formed from the monoplanes "COM-93". The combat load of each such drone is 2.5 kg. “Separately, this is not enough, but with a massive strike on the enemy’s objects and equipment, a serious effect can be achieved. At the same time, the use of such UAVs is not expensive, ” D. Lopatkin noted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
