Russians first showed a new drone that is unable to fly: what is it needed

After that, Trump drove several times along the airfield without separation from the surface. So it is unknown whether a new Russian car will fly or just ride a three -wheeled chassis. According to the creators, the rear racks should be taken away during takeoff. Outside, Trump looks like a conventional aircraft with a highly stretched straight wing and a two-grained V-shaped tail plumage.

In the front there is a screw engine, and in the center of the fuselage is noticeably expanding - it is there that the cargo compartment is 2650 liters. Two doors are equipped on both sides, which are opened or completely removed for loading or unloading of large loads. The source reported to the media that in the framework of the ground tests, Trump had already carried out dozens of steering and worked out management.

Soon the UAV plans to install another engine with a large three -bladed screw and a improved chassis, after which it will start test flights. According to the plan of the Russians, the drone will try to climb the sky in April for the first time. The developers wanted to launch Trump earlier, but there were not enough specialists for this team.

"RIA Novosti" with reference to sources in the defense-industrial complex of the Russian Federation writes that Trump can lift a load of up to 250 kg and drop large objects from the air on a parachute. The stated flight range is 600 km, cruising speed - 195 km/h, maximum height - 3 km. Instead of cargo inside the apparatus can be placed radar, optical, cartographic and other equipment, as well as a system of discharge of ammunition.

The advantages of UAV are called an enhanced pneumatic chassis that allows you to fly or sit on short and poorly prepared platforms. The modular structure allegedly allows you to repair the device faster, changing the wing, engine and chassis in the field. It is proposed to be used for monitoring and agricultural work, although "shock use" directly indicates combat use. Earlier they wrote that the Russian Dron Kamikadze "Lancet" was modified using the experience of war in Ukraine.
