A photo of an American fifth-generation F-35A Lightning II fighter of the Netherlands Air Force (Air Force) with an unexpected print on board has appeared on the Web. They saw an image of the Russian Gerbera drone in it.
The picture with "Gerbera" was placed under the cockpit canopy. Domestic drones are capable of acting as false targets, thereby diverting the work of enemy air defense (air defense) and electronic warfare (EW) systems.
"Gerbera" is equipped with a modem and a camera for transmitting video to the operator. The tactical and technical characteristics of drones are currently unknown. Open sources said that "Gerbera" can connect to local 4G networks and transmit the necessary data to the operator.
At the same time, the UAV's body itself consists of a special foam that absorbs radar waves. This helps it disguise itself for anti-aircraft and missile system radars.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the manufacturer of the S-500 Prometey air defense system demanded almost 300 million rubles from the Saratov Aggregate Plant.
