Without a pilot, but with a bomb: that can a drone of the Armed Forces on the basis of a light -motor aircraft - aircraft

The focus asked Anatoly Khrapchynsky about the possibilities of UAVs similar to miniters: whether they can carry a 250-pound bomb for which purposes are intended and whether they can carry JDAM. The air expert explained that the Armed Forces have long been using this type of drone, which make it possible to strike a double impact and act "comprehensively". The first stroke is the dumping of explosives, the second is a high speed aircraft.

Khrapchynsky confirmed that the defense forces use a variety of ways to load aircraft with RF air defense and have different tools to declare a "cover" plan at airports and to beat for important purposes. It is, for example, about attacks on Alabug [where the RF is produced by Shakshaped drones for blows in Ukraine]. "The principles of aerodynamics and construction of any aircraft, even in most drones, are used classic systems and approaches. Therefore, in principle, it is not surprising.

We have a lot of interesting work for a long time, providing quite a good quality work in hostile objects,"-said Avayaekpert. It is a "ordinary light -motor aircraft, which is additionally equipped with automatic flight", Khrapchinsky said. The cost of such drone is the cost of the aircraft, "plus" the cost of the control system, which was installed instead of the pilot, and the cost of a long distance communication system.

In this case, the expert does not believe that such a means of defeat "rationally" to use the signal "Kover" near Moscow or even for strikes on the refinery. Such means of lesions should be undermined by much important goals. "Such planes should be used for a long distance flight and to work on objects that require a large number of explosive elements. Because, for example, to strike on the refinery is enough drone, which carries 30 kg of explosives.
