Speed ​​up to 200 km/h: the Russian Federation created an unusual UAV "catching" than it will hurt the Armed Forces

The vertical takeoff drone has several interesting features. It is invisible to radar due to its body, flies vertically, but consumes 70% less energy than a copter. In Russia, a drone-convertible "catch", capable, according to engineers, to fly 2. 5 times faster and longer than all copters used in the Russian-Ukrainian war. About it reports the Russian Agency "RIA Novosti" with reference to the company-developer "Hardberry-Rusfactor".

The UAV "Cunning" takes off like a regular quadcopter, and when he accelerated in the air, he flies under the laws of aerodynamics like a plane. Flight and connection range - up to 50 kilometers, flight height - up to five kilometers, flight duration - 1. 5 hours. Only one operator can be served to start the drone. According to the company, the drone is designed for exploration and adjustment of fire.

"It can be said that today in the domestic market of drones there are no cars similar to ours-it is made on the principle of envelope and is capable of developing speed up to 160, and if necessary, then up to 200 kilometers per hour,"-says Hardberry-Rubichator representative . The manufacturer says that the vertical take -off and landing drones cannot be called converters in the "classic" sense of the term.

Today, the drones of vertical take -off and planting are made on the market as follows: they have four screws on the "rods", the body and the wings for the vertical take -off, although they are essentially the usual quadcopters, the speed of which reaches a maximum of 85 km/h. In this case, the UAV "Cunning" flies on the wing and consumes 70% less energy than any quadcopter, which is why it can be in the air 2. 5 times longer. The drone has already been applied and improved.
