It is expected that it will be able to affect air targets, marine drones, fortifications, combat equipment and live power of the Armed Forces. Such UAVs are offered to solve problems at the front and in the rear. According to the Russians, the line includes four models. The first version is an air target interceptor with a combat part of 650 g.
The second version can be equipped with three full -time ammunition weighing up to 800 g, it is suitable for the destruction of drones, non -exit boats, infantry and light -hearted equipment. The third version is equipped with a charge of 1300 grams and is capable of destroying tanks and enemy armored personnel carriers. The fourth and the most difficult is equipped with a combat part of 2. 5 kilograms for the destruction of enemy fortifications.
The archangel drone has a flight range of 50 km and develops speeds up to 350 km/h. These characteristics are allegedly stored for all models, regardless of the amount of load. Engineers try to integrate drones-interceptors into Russian fighters of the series. Operators should control them directly from the cabin of the aircraft, for this purpose they allegedly learned to pilot fighters.
"Of course, the self -given is moving a little faster than our cruising speed of the drone, but the interceptor will be able to deliver directly to Kiev or Lviv," the developers write. If the flight range is only 50 km, then to start the rear cities, the Russian fighter needs to penetrate the territory of Ukraine, risking to be whipped forces. The project is now working on application tactics, the interaction of "Archangel" with air defense systems.
It is stated that drones are already tested in combat, and operators are already taught how to manage them. Russia plans to start mass production of missiles and "pick up the sky" from the Defense Forces of Ukraine soon. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation try to catch up with the Ukrainian army, which since the beginning of 2025 began to actively knock down Russian intelligence UAVs such as "Orlan", Zala, SuperCam. There are currently travelers in Ukraine that are destroying "Shahda".
