In Russia, a system of refueling of combat UAVs in the air was developed: what is known

The Russians say that the system will increase the flight time and the radius of use of UAVs. But it only exists on paper. A system of drones in the air was created at the Military Educational and Scientific Center of the Russian Federation. Russian engineers received a patent for her, IXBT. com reports. The media writes that drones will be able to refuel directly in the air "automatically".

According to the media, the invention will work in all weather conditions, day and night, which will allow the shock drone to be in the air "weeks". It is also emphasized that in this way it will be possible to increase the weight of the amount of amounts during the take -off (ie increase the number of ammunition aboard UAV).

According to the design of engineers, the refueling will be engaged in a special drone equipped with a hose with a cone, a dressing unit, a control system, a sensor of the cone position, a sensor of docking, a block of determination of the position of the cone, a block of calculation of inconsistency parameters, a sensor of fuel level. When joining the UAV, the filling room will rely on the data obtained by satellite communication.

Roszmi write that the tanner-till will cope with the tasks much more efficiently in the planes of the refrainers, especially when it comes to difficult weather conditions or night time, but in practice it is not confirmed, since the Russian system exists only on paper-in the form of patent documentation. The developers noted that they will not need any new technologies to implement, hint that they can do the tools that have today.
