KRET motors are lightweight, while boasting high efficiency. This allows more additional equipment to be installed on drones. For example, the "Sarma" engine can lift a drone with a cargo weighing up to 11 kg into the air.

"Sarma", "Khius", "Barguzin" and "Kultuk" differ in a number of parameters, including power. A pilot batch of engines is undergoing factory testing. Specialists are mastering their production.

Russia has actively begun developing engines for drones. In Samara, they are already testing the MGTD-22 Kolibri, which is planned to be equipped with jet drones. In Moscow, an electric motor for drones of the Swirel aircraft type was presented.
