Russian strike unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) «Molniya-2» received autopilot function for the first time. This was reported by the Zvezda TV channel.
This mode allows the device to maintain its course and complete the task even when the enemy tries to jam the communication. The drone leaves the zone of electronic warfare (EW) equipment and continues flying when control is restored.
The plane doesn't fall, we fly on. And when we leave the suppression zone of electronic warfare, control appears again, and we can safely continue working. And ordinary FPV drones, when they lose control, unfortunately, fall because they don't have such a mode.
The preparation of «Molniya» for launch has also accelerated — sappers install ammunition and balance the device before launch, after which the device soars into the sky from a catapult.
In addition, the new firmware provided an opportunity to significantly increase the effectiveness of combat missions of the «Molniya-2» UAV. Nine out of ten drones successfully reach the target, the percentage of destruction is over 90%.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Russian army received new «Kornets» and «Krasnopol-M2».
