At the Penza branch of the Military Academy of Logistics named after General of the Army A.V. Khrulev (VA MTO), they have begun to develop and produce ammunition release systems for copter-type unmanned aerial vehicles and FPV drones.
According to IA "TASS", citing the press service of the Central Military District, cadets and teachers are involved in the scientific activities of developing, designing, and assembling, assisted by military personnel who work with drones on the front lines.
The developers produce 3D modeling, 3D printing, soldering of system boards, assembly of systems, and final quality control of new samples. After assembly, they are tested at the military university's training ground, and the systems' operability is checked using live ammunition.
Small-scale assembly of installations for dropping PG-7V rounds, VOG-17 ammunition, and hand grenades is already underway in the VA MTO classrooms. This branch is also developing installations to counter drones that can hit enemy UAVs with a single shot, buckshot, or a net. Like, for example, the Altai "Tarantul-pticelov", which "Pervyi Tekhnicheskiy" previously reported on.
