Thanks to this, the manufacturer has set up all the processes faster. In the past, this was also done, but they neglected, among other things, safety. At this stage, there were new threats associated with excessive bureaucracy, which can slow down the manufacture of defeat means with a unique flight control system. Krivolap cited the example of the development of Soviet IL-96 and Ruslan aircraft.

According to traditional requirements, the tests were to take five years, and so worked even with Boeing. But design bureaus was in a hurry, so all tests (for strength, static loads, fatigue) were carried out for two years. In this context, the expert considered the features of the Neptune and Flamingo missile. "Neptune" is a state project that is produced in accordance with all requirements and depends on the budget financing, which they give, they do not give.

"Flamingo" is a development that is based on the experience of commercial drones (an elemental base, for example), so everything is done faster to achieve a goal - blows to the Russians. "They understood that it is necessary to make cheap, that we need to use as possible the opportunities that modern elemental base, which can achieve some success as soon as possible. Any changes. But now such attempts are made, unfortunately, "-explained Krivolap, criticizing the state" Ukroboronprom ".

The expert also voiced what a special rocket" flamingo ". The means of the defeat contains" fantastic things "-the right orientation system. From his words, the rocket is probably used by the sar. Previously, the processing of the scanning results has been used for a day, and now, thanks to AI, it makes one more unique feature - the rocket "pressed" to the ground and it flies at 50 meters, not noticed by the aircraft.
