The latest Russian heavy multi-functional returnable naval drone based on the unmanned boat "Vizir" is planned to be armed with light missiles. Up to 8 launchers will be placed on each side of the device.
Mikhail Danilenko, Managing Director of the KMZ military-industrial holding, stated that tests of such a boat are already underway. According to him, the boat can function as a carrier of a missile with low destructive power, which has its own video camera and autonomous joystick control from the ground.
You can put a small charge. The missile speed is low, the missile itself is a very simple and cheap product costing about 500 thousand rubles. And we can mount from 6 to 8 of these installations on the boat, which can carry a charge of small destructive power, but which will precisely reach where it needs to and carry out the detonation.
