In Russia, a new drone "Irbis" was created: whether it carries a danger to the Armed Forces and what is capable of

To spread: the land drone was designed on the basis of the Karakal complex, but it has a significant difference. About it writes Russian resource TASS. "Irbis", unlike "Karakal", has a higher capacity of 500 kg, emphasizes the media. With regard to its technical characteristics, the drone is 3 m long, 2 m wide, 1. 4 m in height, 62 hp, which provides a stroke - 100 km. It works through remote control (maximum distance from the operator to the platform - 3 km).

It was also equipped with cameras, thermal imager, navigator and radio transmitter, which is not afraid of obstacles that create the IEP systems. The developers from the Holding Complex (Rostech) hold that the drone can carry cargoes and equip with some additional equipment, but which they did not report. It may be about the drone weapons. Currently, the robot is being tested, as is the Karakal platform. For the first time, land drones of the Karakal type were shown to the general public in 2024.

Then they demonstrated the maneuverability of this tracked platform and the possibility of a remote control system that works on the basis of radio channel. The developers assure that it can be used even in the urban environment. Earlier, we wrote that the Armed Forces are trying to improve logistics with the help of "dispatch" and "karakal" platforms. The robotic platforms were presented in different variants.
