The first footage of the rare "Italmas" kamikaze drone has appeared online before its combat launch. The drone was built by the Izhevsk-based company "Aeroscan."
The drone was developed according to the "flying wing" scheme. "Italmas" received an internal combustion engine, and fuel is poured into the wings, which act as a huge gas tank. The footage shows that the drone is launched using a special catapult.
In the nose of the "Italmas" is a power plant to increase stealth from air defense systems (ADS) with thermal homing heads. Additional cooling of the engine by a pulling propeller significantly reduces thermal radiation.
The flight range of "Italmas" is 200 km, wingspan is 2.5 m, length is 2.5 m, and the mass of the warhead is 50 kg.
