"Revolutionary Weapons": Israel has created cherry drones-Kamikadze Spyx (photo, video)

The drone accelerates to 150 km/h and carries a warhead weighing 2. 5 kg, while the error of struck is less than 1 m. Bluebird Aero Systems This was reported by the Army Recognition portal. Spyx is a small disposable drone designed to strike. According to Bluebird Aero Systems, tactical military groups will be able to use it to detect and damage targets up to 50 km. The new drone is very light and maneuverable, its electric motor makes it possible to accelerate to 150 km/h.

Open architecture allows the drone to be paired with other UAVs from Bluebird, such as Wanderb-Vtor and Thunderb-Vtor. The main advantage of Spyx is very high accuracy - the error of less than 1 m reduces the risk of side damage or hit by allies. It provides an advanced payload with two sensors mounted on the "belly", as well as an improved electro -optical video camera for guidance. With their help, the drone can autonomously attack, using a warhead weighing 2.

5 kg of anti -personnel, anti -tank or anti -transmission type. Operators can install the combat part right before starting depending on the object to be affected. Spyx control requires a laptop terrestrial station and two people. The CEO of Bluebird Aero Systems Ronen Nadir called Spyx a "revolution" in the sphere of military UAVs.

According to him, the system combines innovative technologies with versatility and cost -effectiveness, which should significantly increase the efficiency and accuracy of blows, as well as situational awareness of the army. An additional advantage on the battlefield will be shared by the use of meadows with reconnaissance drones of vertical takeoff. At Paris Air Show 2023, Atlas Aerospace showed an Atlastether system for unlimited drone flight.
