DJI has released a new powerful drone: how can the Armed Forces use it in the war (video)

Flycart 30 cargo drone in hostilities in Ukraine can be a unique bomber that has not yet been equal, and a carrier for delivery of smaller drones. The Chinese company DJI has introduced a new Flycart 30 freight drone, which can have a major impact on combat in Ukraine if it is used by the military. Forbes writes about it in a material that was published on Tuesday, January 16.

The media notes that the new drone is designed to dominate the world's drone in the world, just as Mavic quadcopters dominate the consumer market. Thanks to eight rotors, four Flycart 30 levers can carry up to 30 kilograms up to 10 miles (16 km, ed. ) Or carry a shorter load over a longer distance. The control range is specified as 13 miles (20. 9 km, - ed. ), But additional features allow one button to switch the control to the other operator.

The maximum speed of this drone is 45 miles per hour (72 km - ed. ) Flycart is expected to be used on the battlefield as a heavy bomber drone, mine barrier or air transport for shipping. The low price and high load capacity of the Flycart are revolutionary, since existing heavy drones are much more expensive and are largely specialized tools. Therefore, Flycart, designed and focused on the mass market, will be very popular.

It can dump more bombs and mines, being cheaper than any copter that exist at this time. Flycart can also act as a carrier of drones - a maternal platform for several FPV drones. Both Ukraine and Russia have already been experimenting with this concept, but a heavy platform available would make it much more feasible. Like Mavic Family drones, Flycart 30 drone is for convenience of transportation.

The international price has not yet been announced, but last year in China, this drone has been advertised for only $ 17,000 (643 700 UAH, ed. ). Among the many security functions are automatic radar and visual evasion of interference during the day and night, as well as a parachute, which is opened in case of failure of engines, so the drone will always do a soft landing.

To deliver goods Flycart 30 can carry a 70-liter cargo capsule-a container the size of a suitcase-or, if there is no place for planting, it can lower a useful load on a winch until the drone plays at a height of 60 feet (18 km,-ed. ). The media emphasizes that the cargo drone manufacturer-DJI-can process a new model by making it unusable in the combat zone. However, Ukrainian engineers are likely to find ways to bypass these restrictions.

The manufacturer emphasizes that its new unmanned solution is a heavy hoist over long distances with a powerful signal and intelligence (the drone is able to detect obstacles on its way) that supports the cargo regime and the winch regime and goes beyond traditional logistics restrictions, giving safe , economic and effective solution for air transportation. The drone is also able to withstand round -the -clock work at extreme altitudes and in weather conditions.

We will remind, in the second half of November 2023 it became known that Ukrainians created a drone FuryPro for the Armed Forces, which dumps heavy ammunition and "invulnerable" for the EW. The drone can be controlled remotely while in a trenches or armor. And the dimensions of the equipment allow to transport this UAV in the SUV. And in early February 2023, the Armed Forces showed a huge drone bomber. The drone was equipped with a reset system that contains eight ammunition at once.
