China’s ground forces presented first combat drone, writes China Daily.
The drone was named KVD002 and was the first reconnaissance combat drone in service with the Chinese army. The drone is equipped with reconnaissance equipment as well as two AR-1 air-to-surface missiles.
Previously the Russian army will experience “BAS-80” folding-wing kamikaze drones assembled from composite materials in a special military operations (SVO) zone.
These drones have already been delivered to them, RIA Novosti reported, citing Evgeniy Dudorov, general director of NPO Android Technology, which developed this UAV.
According to Dudorov, with the use of composite materials (this UAV is made of carbon or fiberglass), the BAS-80 was made as light and compact as possible. The weight of the drone is 1.7 kg. Thanks to its folding wing design, the drone can be folded into a tube that the operator can carry inside.
Previously in Russia was created new drone suppression system.
