Steep but won't replace Mavic: the Armed Forces Operator reported on the work of a tiny black hoornet drone

A quiet and imperceptible drone is great for special tasks in homes and forestry, although it has a number of disadvantages. Ukrainian servicemen began to use miniature unmanned aerial vehicles Black Hornet Nano. The Kruk Operators Training Center has published a feedback on Facebook with one of its graduates with a call sign. He noted that the branded remote allows you to handle the Black Hornet Nano with one hand - though the right, though left.

Video of cameras, thermal imaging and telemetry data are transmitted to the tablet, which is complete with the drone. The image quality is good enough to consider people at a short distance, but because of the small size of the cameras, it is much worse when compared to models from DJI or other manufacturers. The main advantage of Black Hornet is their invisibility.

According to the technician, the UAV under the control of the Armed Forces fighters flew 10 meters from a group of Russian soldiers, who did not see it or hear it. The device works very quietly, and because of small dimensions it can only be seen from 50 meters on the background of the sky or from 20 meters among trees or buildings. One complex Black Hornet Nano includes two types of copters: one equipped with two optical cameras and the other is a thermal imagers.

For the transfer of drones, tablet and remote, the developer provided convenient results. "A steep highly specialized drone for exploring premises, landings and territories where the group will come right now. Only for units that are already staffed with other drones, and they need it in such a small n*#@& k. It does not replace" Mavika "," Mattha "and FPV. A completely different class and scenarios," the technician summed up.

The technical characteristics of the Black Hornet drone before Norway and the United Kingdom have transferred to Ukraine little Black Hornet drones from Teledyne Flir. UAVs, reminiscent of helicopters, have been developed for fighting in cities and limited spaces. The cameras transmit images with a resolution of 640x480 pixels and pictures with a resolution of 1600x1200 pixes, allowing reconnaissance in the immediate vicinity of the enemy.
