Russia has some catching up to do in drone production. A new drone should make the start. The first videos are not convincing so far.
Moscow – It’s hard to imagine modern warfare without them: unmanned drones. In the Ukraine war, Russia has increasingly resorted to systems from Iran in the past. Now Vladimir Putin wants to provide drones of his own production for his army.
“I am sure that in the near future we will have a whole family of drones[Russian-made – ed.],” Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev announced on Thursday (March 23) to the state news agency mug at.
Drones in Russia: Moscow also wants to be able to attack unmanned underwater
Earlier, Russia announced that it had “developed a long-range, artificial intelligence-based thermal imaging reconnaissance system” with a drone at its heart. But not only in the sky does Russia want to gain an advantage through unmanned systems.

Russia relies on drones: the first tests of the Tramp drone are already underway
On board the drone are radar, optical, cartographic and other surveillance equipment. The first tests with the drone are currently to be carried out, but so far only on the runway, as the news agency reports. “So far (will) perform a series of runs without leaving the track to refine the calculated parameters,” quoted Ria Novosti a defense industry source.
A modular structure should enable repairs to be made to the flying object quickly. A main focus for the drone, which can be used for civil or military purposes, is to carry out tasks with minimal costs, such as Ria Novosti writes. (Lucas Maier)
