The creators claim that the device can fly at a speed of 120 km / h and drop loads weighing up to 5 kg. This is enough to organize shelling.
The company Clevercopter from Nizhny Novgorod has developed an unmanned tiltrotor “Aeromedic MINI”, capable of reconnaissance at night. This was reported to RIA Novosti by the National Technology Initiative Project Support Fund.
“Aeromedic MINI” is an unmanned vehicle of the “tiltrotor” type – it has rotary engines that provide thrust during vertical take-off and landing, as well as during horizontal movement. According to the developers, it is equipped with a three-axis night vision camera with a 30x zoom function and a gyroscope stabilizer. It can accelerate to 100 km/h and travel 200 km in a single flight. Takeoff weight is 30 kg.
Sergey Gusev, CEO of Clevercopter, noted that the drone received a hybrid power plant that combines a gasoline and eight electric motors, providing high flight range. “Aeromedic MINI” can both reconnaissance and drop cargo up to 5 kg. The developers do not talk about combat use, but such a carrying capacity is enough to carry grenades, bombs and mortar mines. The official purpose of UAV is to monitor pipelines.
“We are currently completing the assembly of the Aeromedic MINI device and preparing it for testing, which will begin in the coming months,” said Sergey Gusev.
Earlier, in Russia, they showed another combat aircraft with a tiltrotor design, citing it as a development of engineers from the Primorsky Territory. Apparently, under the guise of a Russian UAV there is a Chinese Raefly VT260 aircraft from the Chinese company CUAV Tech – you can buy it on AliExpress for $ 8,000.
In early March, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the use of Boomerang kamikaze drones in Ukraine. UAVs can fly at speeds of up to 170 km / h and are filled with explosives, allegedly used by some groups of the Air Force.
