The first batch of heavy combat drones «Berdysh» was sent to the Russian military. This was announced by Vladimir Tkachuk, General Director of the Sverdlovsk enterprise «Uraldronzavod».
Drone operators have been retrained.
The heavy drone has a completely different firmware, and piloting skills (are needed) are different, not like for kamikaze drones.
All drones have been tested and have confirmed their reliability. There was not a single failure in 100 sorties.
The test batch included about 100 modular drones. They are designed for a wide range of tasks, including the transportation of ammunition, as well as the installation of anti-personnel and anti-tank mines.
The carrying capacity of the «Berdysh» drone is 20 kg, the flight range is 25 km.
The drone has also become a drone repeater for the «Ghoul» FPV family. It can maintain communication even over long distances.
