"Pull gifts to enemies": Rogozin scares with a new Russian drone "Matryoshka"

The drone received a hybrid structure that allows it to fly both vertically and horizontally, developing speeds up to 70 km/h. Russian engineers are developing a new reconnaissance drone for the military called "Matryoshka". Dmitry Rogozin, the head of military advisers who call themselves "royal wolves", told details and posted a video on his Telegram. According to him, a "mixed copter-penetration type" drone can fly 100 km.

In the video "Matryoshka" looks like a small yellow aircraft with four screws located perpendicular to the fuselage. With their help, the drone flies upside down to a quadcopter, after which at a height of about two meters it goes into horizontal flight mode. The speed is about 70 km/h, the flight range is up to 100 km. Judging by the video, the UAV is equipped with a camera and transmits the image to the operator in real time, that is, designed primarily for intelligence.

"When scaling" gifts, "enemies will be drawn, for example, by mines," Dmitry Rogozin said in his channel. Roscosmos Exglav added that the developers are now working out the management system and refining the design of the aircraft. In the future, they plan to transfer drones to the Russian military for testing directly on the battlefield, and then submit them to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation to receive approval for mass production.

Dmitry Rogozin also stated that "royal wolves" are working on the creation of three large shock drones, attracting engineers and cockroaches, as well as supporting projects in the field of unmanned technologies that study nine private companies. Some models have already tried the invaders in the war in Ukraine. The day before, Dmitry Rogozin also reported that Russia intends to use Marker robots developed by Android Technology in the Donbass and the Fund for Prospective Research.
