Ukrainian drone Sirko has been launched into production: will help the Armed Forces to destroy the occupiers (video)
In my opinion, the state is not smooth in these conditions, but I see that work in this direction is conducted very carefully and actively," he said. Sirko drone was created by engineers from Kharkiv and Lviv. Although it is purely Ukrainian, it uses accessories from other countries. According to Igor Krynichka, Skyassist managed to establish links with manufacturers of the necessary components - not only Chinese, but also with Israeli, Canadian, Taiwan and other countries.
So far, the Ministry of Defense will not buy the drone at the expense of the state, although it has granted its permission to use Sirko in the troops. Volunteer organizations will be purchased for the Armed Forces. The initial cost of the drone is $ 3000, and in full configuration, with all related equipment, can reach $ 9250.
Sirko drone is notable for not only to explore the battlefield and find the goals of the enemy, but also to transfer the coordinates of their location to his operator to strike artillery. It is not just a reconnaissance drone, but also a drone. Before that, Sirko is a rather small and invisible drone. The length of the wing is only 90 cm, so at a working altitude of 200-800 m drone is practically not visible from the ground, and thanks to the use of the motor-not yet heard in the sky.
Due to the use of composite materials (over 90% of the total body), Sirko is very difficult to detect the means of HR. The drone is able to work in the mode of "Language", that is, to carry out intelligence without any radiation. And if the drone is in an incredibly detecting and trying to neutralize with GPS muffler, then in this case the Sirko is equipped with an inertial protocol, which automatically returns it to the starting point without using GPS.
The drone transmits a streaming digital integrated telemetry signal to the ground station and an analogue encoded signal from the camera. The video is transmitted to any device or at the same time on two devices (laptop, tablet, smartphone). According to the reserve colonel Yuri Kalgushkin, who advised the developers, Sirko is superior to Kopters like DJI Mavic and is very necessary for the Ukrainian military.
The expert noted as the advantages of the Ukrainian drone a fairly good range of the device - up to 25 km, and the duration of work - up to 1. 5 hours. According to Igor Krynichko, Skyassist received many reviews about Sirko's work on the front of our heroes from Kupyansk, Kherson and Mykolaiv region. The company appreciates all the reviews and pays attention to the wishes of the military who work directly with their drones.
Now Skyassist is actively working on the second version of his drone, and in the future will definitely create a shock model of the drone Sirko. Currently, last June, developers have shipped more than a hundred Sirko complexes to the front, but production facilities make it possible to increase their number to 1000 per month. Earlier, Focus said that the drone Sirko has a "land brother" - the anti -tank robot "Sirko".
