The Russian military has begun to receive 10-inch "OsA Okta" FPV drones designed to deliver cargo to remote areas. The device is capable of carrying up to 10 kg of payload and is already involved in logistics operations of the Russian army. The drone was developed by NPK "Alex.Com" from Arkhangelsk.
According to the developers, the drone is used to transport ammunition, medicines, food, as well as elements of equipment and clothing. Special attention was paid to its ability to function in difficult terrain and adverse weather conditions, in particular, during periods of slush, when ground equipment faces restrictions due to impassability.
The company's engineers emphasize that "OsA Okta" compares favorably with analogues, including the so-called agricultural drones, primarily in cost: the FPV solution costs several times less with comparable or even superior efficiency in logistics tasks. It was the economic feasibility and the need to ensure uninterrupted supply in remote areas that became key factors in launching the project.
Technical characteristics of the "OsA Okta" FPV drone:
- Frame: 10 inches;
- Successfully tested at a military training ground and used in the special military operation zone;
- Flight range (with 8000 mAh lithium-ion batteries): up to 30 km;
- Flight time (with 8000 mAh lithium-ion batteries): up to 25 minutes;
- Maximum suspension weight: 13 kg;
- Optimal suspension weight: 10 kg;
- Additionally equipped with a secure digital control and video transmission system (similar to the DJI Mavic system).
