"Let's send by the end of the year": in the Russian Federation create their own sea drones-Kamikadze for war in Ukraine
They will be able to overcome the distance of up to 200 km, developing speeds up to 80 km/h. The drones are designed for a useful load of about 600 kg, they can place reconnaissance, special cargoes and explosives (TNT) - the drones will be able to attack targets in Kamikadze mode, exploding when colliding. They are also offered to be used as a platform for launching or landing of unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as a means of radio electronic control of them.
Mikhail Danilenko assures that KMZ has already started creating new drones and even collected the first "water driver". Soon the devices plan to test in the war zone in the territory of Ukraine, and if the tests are successful - start production. Perhaps the basis of new sea drones was the work on the project of the robotic complex with the average working unmanned Katro "Vizir-700", which KMZ presented in October 2023.
According to the official site of the holding, the vessel itself has a length of 6. 7 m and a margin of up to 30 hours, and the complex itself is intended for hydrographic work, although at the exhibitions the holding showed a sample with a combat module installed on the nose of the apparatus. The drone is equipped with a hydrolocker and a profilefire with a flow sensor, as well as intellectual technologies of technical vision, to determine the types of objects and to bypass obstacles.
In addition, engineers have provided a multi -gaigent interaction system that will allow several drones to act by a group. The user interface allows you to set routes, receive telemetry data, visualize in real time data from the amount of loading and build digital depth maps, receive data on discrepancy with obstacles. The complex can be promptly deployed from the shore for work in coastal areas and used in the far sea area from the vessel.
The KMZ holding holds Kingiseppe Machine-Building Plant in St. Petersburg and seven production sites created on its base. Businesses create various boats, as well as diesel generators for military special vehicles, kitchens, medical centers and field systems, as well as trails for miners, engines, coolers for Navy WFPs. "We have three times the increased orders today, it is once a shortened repair time: if it was 90 days, today it is 30 days.
Today there are many of them, there will be even more of them next year," Mikhail Danylenko boasted. In July, information appeared that in Russia are created by sea drones-Kamikadze from 200 kg of explosives. Photos of the apparatus with a wooden body have appeared on the network, it cannot be said where the engine and other equipment will be placed. On November 22, it was reported that the Ukrainian sea drone Magura V5 was found in Crimea. The device was unharmed on the seashore.
