"Need forced": Russia collects battle drones from building materials (photo)

To simplify and reduce the cost, they made a ceiling tile body, the rest of the details were bought in the Chinese online store AliExpress. According to the developers, UAVs are able to dump the first aid kits with wounded Russian invaders or throw Ukrainian trenches with grenades. In addition, it can play the role of Kamikadze, exploding during a collision. The only problem was the designers' landing - now it is necessary to catch it with your hands so as not to break.

During the roundtable in Omsk, UAVs from the company "Information Technologies" were also shown. The representative of the enterprise Maxim Markov said that a drone weighing 4. 2 kg is collected from composite materials, can lift a load of up to 5 kg, equipped with a thermal imaginary and has a range of 150 km. The drone allegedly 80% consists of Russian parts for staffing, and only engines have to be ordered from China.

Other participants of the event said that during the war in the Armed Forces there was a huge need for aircraft, and "the need forced" Russian engineers to create their own drones and controllers to them, copying Chinese models. "We are pouring on the foam polyurethane on our own. We have taken a Chinese counterpart, scanned it on a 3D printer and now we produce 30-40 UAV for a week," said a Russian serviceman with a pilot call sign.

Earlier, expert Valery Yakovenko spoke about the degradation of Russian drones. According to his observations, the quality of UAVs produced in the Russian Federation is constantly deteriorating against the background of international sanctions, and the most striking example is the reconnaissance devices "Orlan-10". In January, it became known that in Russia patented a jet drone with Ammi-Snack.
