Russia is creating a hydro-drone that can stay in the air for up to 15 hours and land not only on water

The premiere of the new product will take place in 2024

Ivan Antsev, Executive Director of NPP Radar mms, spoke about a new drone that the company is working on. This is not a military development: the drone can be used for extinguishing fires, environmental monitoring, etc.

The seaplane drone can land not only on water, but also on snow and in a field, and it does not require any special infrastructure. I think it will be in demand for tasks such as air delivery, environmental monitoring, monitoring of extended facilities, fire fighting. According to calculations, if we take a payload of up to 800 kg, the time in the air is 15 hours.

The top manager said that the maximum speed of the new product will be 200 km/h. A full-fledged premiere of the device will take place in 2024. The UAV will be tested at a hydro airfield in Nizhny Novgorod.
