The newest aircraft-type drone «Prince Oleg the Wise» (KVO), developed at the Ushkuynik Research and Production Center (NPC), has been delivered to the Russian military. The drone is capable of conducting reconnaissance at a distance of up to 45 km and is distinguished by its high survivability, said Alexey Chadaev, General Director of the NPC.
According to him, due to the mass destruction of reconnaissance UAVs, engineers created the cheapest, most maintainable and mass-produced device with the characteristics of top models.
The KVO has unexpectedly high survivability, the enemy often confuses it with its own.
Chadaev clarified that the drone is very easy to repair and operate - the parts are printed on a 3D printer, and the launch is possible literally «from two sticks». At the same time, the UAV provides target designation for the «Prince Vandal of Novgorod» kamikaze drones.
The systems of the two devices are integrated - the operator simultaneously sees the picture from both the reconnaissance and the strike drone.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the cost of one Iskander-M missile became known.
