Specialists from the "Nebesny Voin" (Heavenly Warrior) training center for unmanned aerial vehicle operators have developed a quadcopter with a revolver-type grenade drop system for VOG-17 grenades. The device is capable of carrying up to 16 grenades at once.
It is noted that the drone is based on a commercial drone. A munition dropping system via drums will be installed on it. According to the developers' plan, the drone will be able to fly up to 40 km, and the drone's operating time in the sky is about two hours.
So far, only a prototype of the drone is ready, but by the end of June it will already go for testing on the front lines.
Also, the UAV will be used as a "mother drone", it will carry several small FPV drones on itself, which will separate from it and go to the target at the right moment. This is necessary to bypass enemy electronic warfare equipment.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the military on the front lines began testing the Rusak kamikaze quadcopter and the Tiuvik light strike wing. They are not susceptible to electronic warfare and fly up to 30 km.
