In Russia declared the creation of UAVs capable of destroying Leopard tanks: what is known

Russian engineers believe that the useful load of the drone will be enough for the punching of 100mm armor, but it has not yet been tested. The design bureau "Spectrum" from Novosibirsk has declared the creation of a drone capable of destroying German tanks Leopard. The executive director of the enterprise Andriy Bratrenkov told the Russian edition "Komsomolskaya Pravda". According to him, the drone can carry weapons, which punches the armor more than 100 millimeters thick.

This is allegedly enough to destroy NATO heavy military equipment like Leopard. It is worth noting that the thickness of the body of the LEOPARD 1 tank is 100 mm, and in Leopard 2A5 and later models, according to the Soldiers of the German Army, it is 150 mm.

Andriy Bratrenkov added that the experts of the "spectrum" have improved and scaled the drone, capable of raising a payload weighing up to 1 kg: two grenades or four "incredible elements", which are planned to choose as a result of fire tests. The cost of the serial sample is estimated at 2. 5 million rubles (about $ 33. 5 thousand). Spectrum promises to launch in Novosibirsk after receiving funding or government order.

On January 25, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz approved the supply of Leopard 2 tanks 2 in Ukraine. Focus wrote how many Western equipment can get an Armed Forces and from whom. The next day, Roscosmos exglav Dmitry Rogozin stated that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation would be sent to the advanced Russian marker works capable of destroying Leopard and Abrams tanks.
