Специалисты превратили дрон-камикадзе в ракету, разогнав его до 280 км/ч

At this speed, the UAV cannot be shot down with small arms

Experts from the All-Russian project "Archangel" for training drone piloting have modified a kamikaze drone, increasing its speed to about 280 km/h. This was announced by the head of the project, Mikhail Filippov.

He recalled that ordinary kamikaze drones fly at a speed of 70-120 km/h. The project engineers have developed a hybrid with vertical take-off, and then it switches to "wing mode" and flies like a rocket.

Therefore, due to proper aerodynamics, with the same motors and batteries, it flies two to three times further and much faster. The minimum range is 50 km, the speed is 280 km/h. At this speed, it is physically impossible to shoot it down with small arms.

According to Filippov, the drone can be used against long-range targets of lightly armored vehicles and critical infrastructure facilities.
