The drone is designed for heavy armored vehicles. It carries more explosives than a Russian analogue, and flies for at least 20 minutes longer. The US government has entered into Uvision and Mistral contracts worth $ 73,552,208 for the supply of Hero-120sF ammunition for command of US special operations. About it writes the portal European Defense Review. The technical characteristics of Hero-120sF are not disclosed.

It is only known that compared to the basic version of Hero-120, this model has a higher load capacity, a more advanced guidance system, and increased flexibility for deployment from different platforms. The manufacturer's website states that the starting mass of Hero-120 is 14. 5 kilograms, it is equipped with a combat part weighing 4. 5 kilograms, can strike up to 60 kilometers and stay in the air for up to 60 minutes.

In addition to the UAV itself, the agreement includes the supply of spare parts and training in managing new equipment. Hero-120sF will produce Uvision USA in Virginia and the new SAIC. The contract is expected to be executed by 2029.

"This important contract with the command of US special operations, unique in importance, is supported by our close partnership with Mistral, emphasizes the desire of Uvision and Mistral to provide advanced technologies and prompt experience to ensure US national security," - said the head of the Uvision USA Directors. . It should be noted that hero-120sf and Russian lancet ammunition are one niche in terms of use on the battlefield.

In this case, even the base version of the Hero-120 exceeds the "lancet" by a number of parameters. Thus, drones "Lancet 1" and "Lancet 3" have a combat part of 1 and 3 kilograms, a starting weight of 5 and 12 kilograms, and the duration of flight is 30 and 40 minutes, respectively. Recall that in March this year it became known that the Israeli company Uvision and American SAIC (Science Applications International Corp. ) signed an agreement on production of Hero-120 at a plant in South Karolin.
