In Russia, the development of high -speed UAV "Thunder", which controls the swarms of drones less

The drone should be very fast to work with the fighters, but until the Russian Federation does not even have a sketch project. Russian designers have started developing a new multi -purpose unmanned aerial vehicle "Thunder" within the state order. Representatives of Kronstadt were told about it at the TASS agency at the Army-2022 Forum. The company has concluded contracts for the development of a sketch project and have already started the creation of UAVs.

It is worth noting that the concept of future Groma drone was presented in 2020 with the main characteristics, but since then no new information about it has been received. In August 2021, Kronstadt Director Serhiy Bogatikov stated that the developers were working on different options for execution of the device. According to the developers, the Thunder must work together with the pilot aircraft Su-35 and SU-57 as the lead.

He will be able to provoke, distract and destroy the enemy's air defense, and is intended to fight ships and strike the shore infrastructure to save the lives of pilots. For the UAV attack, the X-38 Air-Earth rockets or corrective Bombs of the CAC-500C will receive.

He should also control the swarm of 10 drills "Molnia", which is launched from aircraft, "communicate" with them and coordinate actions, at the same time the group will be able to perform the task autonomously, using artificial intelligence. So far, there is no "molon" in service of Russia. The recent army-2022 forum showed a "mythical" drone for the Navy. The military put only the layout of the apparatus, which, according to the design of the designers, should take place vertically and sit down.
