"Yastreb" instead of "geranium". In the Russian Federation declared the creation of a jacket with machine vision

The device will be equipped with a coat combat unit weighing 16 kg, and it will be used as a pseudocrylate rocket - a false target for distracting the air defense. In Russia, they have developed their improved version of Iranian Dron-Kamikadze Shahd, called "Yastreb". About it reports TASS with reference to the representative of the developer - KB "Strathom". The Russian military will use the Russian military in the war zone in Ukraine as a bait for distracting Ukrainian air defense systems.

It has technical characteristics that are suitable for use in such tactical operations. KB experts already complete work on the budget analogue of the jet drone-Kamikadze "Geranium" (meaning Iranian dron Shahd, collected in the Russian Federation,-ed. ). The media writes that this jet drone will be able to strike up to 350 km using coordinates. The prototype of "Yastreb" is in the stage of flight tests, and it is planned that in the first half of 2024 a large copy will begin.

The speed of the drone with a jet engine will be 700 km/h, and with the internal combustion engine - 300 km/h. The flight range will reach 350 km. The drone will be equipped with a row of 16 kg. The product is made using civilian components, which will ensure its low cost. The manufacturer also stated that the unmanned apparatus will be resistant to the enemy radio struggle and will have a machine vision system to carry out a target.

The creators also promise that "Yastreb" will be sold at a budget price, because it is collected from inexpensive "civilian" components. In addition, the KB was allegedly developed specifically for this drone the turbine project. However, it is unknown how the situation for Russian Shahheda really looks. It should be reminded that at the end of December 2023 it became known that Ukraine began the mass production of drones-analogues of Shahd.

The Minister for Strategic Industry Alexander Kamyshyn said that there are already five types of drones in Ukraine, which are analogues for Shakhaned-131, which are made series. There is also one type of drone that is an analogue of "Shahaned-136". The development of these drones was started in 2016, but for some reason it was not launched. And in September 2023, we wrote that the Chinese analogue of Shahd-136 was tested.
