TASS reports that the FPV drone "Ghoul" has been developed in the Sverdlovsk region, designed to strike deep behind the front lines. The first batch, partially created using 3D printers, has already been tested.
«The main objective of our development is to strike the enemy at tactical depth in order to isolate the combat zone. That is, we want to block a conditional square from the possibility of delivering ammunition, personnel and equipment, in order to make combat as difficult and unbearable as possible for the enemy. Another priority target is tanks working on us from closed firing positions, which are hiding from our ATGM crews behind folds in the terrain; the drone will be able to find such a target and also hit it by diving from a height», - said the developer's representative.
The drone can carry grenades for RPG-7, RKG-3M hand-held anti-tank grenades and high-explosive fragmentation charges. The manufacturer says that the next batch will be improved based on feedback from the military.
«It is difficult to answer the question of what distinguishes us from other Russian developments, since there are very few teams that develop similar machines in our huge country. Specifically, at this moment we are solving the problem of complete import substitution of video transmitters that are used in FPV drones; they are of Chinese production and are gradually becoming scarce», – summarized the developer's representative.
