Put the PTRK on quadcopters: Russians boast of heavy drones "Perun-F" (photo, video)

The device can shoot rockets while in the air, but is unlikely to hit at least for any purpose, because it has no guidance. Russian engineers test aircraft armed with anti -tank missile systems "Fagot". The corresponding video was posted by Ukrainian blogger Andriy Tarasenko in his Telegram channel on Wednesday, January 24. The footage shows a quadcopter called "Perun-F", equipped with an anti-tank missile complex 9K111 "Fagot".

During the trials, he took off, landed and fired from his weapons in two ways - from the ground and in the air. Judging by the personnel, the latter method was ineffective due to the instability of the platform. The stop card shows that the anti-tank missile has auxiliary equipment mounted in an integrated control unit. This may indicate remote control. However, no new guidance devices are visible in the footage, except for standard optical controls.

"At first glance, the idea is attractive, but it is unlikely to be. According to "militaristic", this is not the first time that the Russians experience the old Soviet PTRK. It is a common phenomenon associated with the absence of modern analogues of the third generation in the Russian armed forces and lack of its weapons in Russia. One of the main disadvantages of old anti -tank systems was the need for manual rockets in flight.

To solve this problem, the Russian military with a handicraft manner installed remote control sets. So, earlier the Russians modernized the "Cornet" system, equipping it with a remote control with built -in control and thermal imaging, the image of which can be displayed on a remote monitor. It should be noted that simultaneously with the video of "modernization" of the Russian drone appeared videos on which Ukrainians showed the work of a unique "drone-samurai".
