Russian Molniya-2 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have received a second engine for the first time. As a result, the aerodynamic characteristics of the product have significantly improved, said operator Andrey.
According to him, the working distance of Molniya-2 has increased to 40 km, but much depends on the terrain and weather.
"Molniya-2" received the most important thing - two engines. Due to the second engine, the UAV has become much more stable, and the side wind does not knock it down so much now. And the main thing for us - to bypass electronic warfare (EW) equipment - is autopilot.
The military man added that if the Molniya-2 loses the video signal, the autopilot continues to guide the drone along the route and altitude. After the connection is restored, the calculation gets the opportunity to continue combat work.
In addition, the new firmware provided an opportunity to significantly increase the effectiveness of combat sorties of the Molniya-2 UAV. Nine out of ten drones successfully reach the target, the percentage of destruction is higher than 90%.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the fiber-optic FPV drone "Zanoza" developed by the "Groza" project hits 80% of targets.
