TASS reports that a FPV drone 'Vampire' designed for deep front attacks has been developed in the Sverdlovsk region. The first batch, partially created using 3D printer, has already been tested.
"The main task of our development is to strike the enemy at a tactical depth in order to isolate the area of combat. That is, we want to block the conventional square from the possibility of ammunition, personnel and equipment arrival, to make the conduct of the fight for the enemy as difficult and unbearable. Another priority goal - tanks operating on us from closed fire positions, which are hiding from our ATGM calculations behind the terrain folds, the drone can find such a target and also hit the dive from a height" - told a representative of the developer.
The drone can carry grenades to RPG-7, anti-tank hand grenades RKG-3M and fragmentation explosive charges. The manufacturer says that the next batch will be adjusted with feedback from the military.
"It is difficult to answer the question of what distinguishes us against the background of other Russian developments, since there are extremely few teams developing similar machines for our large country. At this moment, we are solving the problem of complete import substitution of video transmitters, which are used in FPV drones, they are of Chinese production and are gradually becoming deficient", – concluded a representative of the developer.
