The Serbia PR-DC has recently conducted flight tests of its new FPV-zero called Mantis armed with a 120-mm ammunition. The developers shared the details with the Tango Six. Mantis UAV was created on the basis of Odonat drone, which premiered at the UMEX exhibition in Abu Dhabi.

The full runway of the drone is 40 kg. Raise it into the air 4 screws. The operator can control UAV at a distance of 5 to 15 km. Unfortunately, this is all the information about the technical characteristics of Dron-Kamikadze Mantis.
