How does the Secret Dron Kamikadze Phoenix Ghost work: The Armed Forces showed for the first time (video)
After that, Kamikadze was sent directly to the position, which crashed into the ground and exploded during a collision. As a result of the explosion, two Russian servicemen were killed on the spot, and three more were injured. Noticing those who survived, the Armed Forces were eating them with fire from 82 mm mortars. Judging by the video mark, it was a mysterious Phoenix Ghost, designed in the United States specifically for the needs of the AEVX Aerospace Army.
The exact characteristics of UAVs are kept secret from the Russian army, but in the Pentagon they say they are close to another American Kamikadze Switchblade. Phoenix Ghost is inherently a barrier ammunition - an unmanned aircraft with a combat part. The device flies around, collecting reconnaissance information and seeking goals, after which he tends to them and explodes.
Aevex Aerospace member David Deptula, a retired Lieutenant General, told Politico that Phoenix Ghost could take a vertically fly and sit down, monitor hostile objects for six hours, that is, much longer than Switchblade. Defense Express writes that in order to increase the Aevex Aerospace flight duration, it would have to sacrifice either in size, making it larger and more noticeable, but with a capacious fuel tank, or reduce weight, thus weakening the combat part.
Judging by the words of the freelance adviser to the Presidential Office Alexei Arestovich, the manufacturer went the second way and made a compact apparatus, which will fit in the backpack. It is also known that Phoenix Ghost is coordinated or managed by radio operator. The model is equipped with an optical system for searching and giving on land goals of different types. Infrared sensors allow him to work even in the dark.
