LoooSeR Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 From TV news report about Russian UAVs - S-70 "Hunter". Currently is being piloted by human using manual controls, in future will be changed to automatic flight system. Already capable of receiving targeting data from Su-57 and engaging them, according to test pilot. Spoiler Size of this UAV compared to human. Sergei Bibikov - cheif designer of S-70 That one is interesting - Orion UAV in strike modification with about 30-40 real combat missions. Stars show number of flights with "B" (Б) meaning combat (strike) flight and "R" (Р) is recon. I also saw one with "P" (П), video didn't explained it. Patrol, maybe? There was also videos of real strikes, but few of them and they were hard to see. One thing i noticed was use of retro iron bomb in one of the videos, lol. Spoiler Some sort of ATGM. Another configuration of weapons. Pic of interface, for future spotting footage from Orion.

LoooSeR Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Kalashnikov concern designed KYB suicide drone going to finish trails this year. Quote State tests of the KYB combat unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) developed by ZALA Aero (part of the Kalashnikov group of companies of the Rostec state corporation) will be completed in 2021. This was reported to TASS during the IDEX-2021 international arms exhibition in the Kalashnikov press service. “KYB was shown in the UAE two years ago, during this time preliminary tests were completed, letter O was assigned. This year it is planned to complete state tests,” the press service informed. As noted in Kalashnikov, an export-oriented modification of the UAV, designated KYB-E, is under development. "This work is also planned to be completed this year," the press service said. The new strike UAV is already showing interest in the world arms market. “There is interest in the product from the countries of the Middle East, but before the export version of KYB appears, it’s premature to talk about negotiations,” the Kalashnikov officials noted. Combat UAV of "kamikaze" type KYB was first presented at the international arms exhibition IDEX-2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The base UAV is Soviet but I think the strike variant is newer. Anyway, do you have an idea where it was combat used? Chechnya? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, do you have an idea where it was combat used? Chechnya? Tu-300 Korshun was in development in 1980s, first UAV build in 1990 and first flight taking place in 1991. It is Soviet UAV, but used by Russian forces because of timeline. Most likely yes, Chechnya was probably place of use. IMO during first Chechen war.

mr.T Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 All the east european Rusophobes seem to think TB2 is some sort of magical anti russian kyptonite that could actually fight Russian army !

Based on experience against rag tag 3rd world militias with limited or no AD It does make it more difficult for Russia to employ its 'little green man' tactic. It would need to escalate things to neutralize the TB-2 in a way which would trigger article 5. This a nice deterrence for a small and weak country such as Latvia.
