The motors did not think: what problems the Russian UAVs "Yastreb" with machine vision - expert

Ivan Kirichevsky, an expert of the portal of the Defense Express, told about the features of Russian development with a jet engine. Kirichevsky emphasized that "Yastreb" really has advantages. In particular, it is cheaper than Dron-Kamikadze Shahd-136 because it is made of completely civilian components. However, there is a problem in developing - it is a motor, the expert said.

In his opinion, the Russians were not able to start producing their own engines, quite powerful, which to carry explosives weighing tens of kilograms. Instead, depends on deliveries from Iran and China. "They did not say their own [motors]," the Kirichevsky journalists suffered. Similar problems with "Lancetes", noted the expert. He stressed that at the lancet ammunition, which carries 12 kg of explosives, installed "motor" from the Czech Republic, designed for a "toy aircraft" weighing up to 5 kg.

"They have problems with the motors. They have to take either Iranian or Chinese engines for" shahas ", because they did not blow their own. Even on the" lancet "they have not Russian development, but Czech electric motors for toy aircraft weighing 5 kg" , - the TV channel was air. Earlier, the focus wrote about the characteristics of "yastreb", which boasted at the Russian Design Bureau "Strati".

In particular, the Russians indicated that a new drone, equipped with a machine vision, is capable of flying up to 350 km. The device is similar in design to Shahaned, but has a jet engine and then flies at a speed of up to 700 km/h. (or with a solid fuel engine - at speeds up to 300 km/h). The weight of the explosive, which can be carried by UAV - 16 kg. Designers have noted that it can be used as a pseudocrylate of a rocket to mislead the Ukrainian air defense forces.

The estimated time of the appearance of a completely finished product is the first half of 2024. What a new product for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation looks, it is not yet known. It should be noted that the Armed Forces fighters said that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation changed the tactics of using drones-Kamikadze Shahd-136. According to new data, they began to run through the frontal territories, not for blows deep into Ukraine.
