The current modification of the drone demonstrates an increased flight range of up to 25 kilometers, which has become possible thanks to an improved data transmission system using fiber optics, previously limited to 15 kilometers.

The main advantage of using fiber optics is considered to be high noise immunity and signal stability, which is especially important in conditions of active suppression of electronic warfare (EW). The developers claim that the drone has successfully passed tests in a complex environment, demonstrating stable communication and high control accuracy throughout the flight.

"Knyaz Vandal Novgorodsky" is designed to perform reconnaissance and strike missions. Its design allows it to carry a payload of up to 3 kilograms, which allows the installation of various equipment, including high-resolution cameras, thermal imagers, and even small combat charges.

Earlier www1.ru reported that a Syrian military official hinted at the possibility of deploying Russian S-400s in Damascus.
