The new drone Russia wants to be used against the Ukrainian military, but it has not even passed the main trials and it is unknown how the equipment proves itself in a combat environment. In Russia, a new unmanned aircraft "Tubus" was created to destroy artillery in the depths of the front. This was reported with reference to its own sources by TASS on Wednesday, October 11. The developers told reporters that Tubus is launched from a portable installation and can develop a speed of 250-300 km/h.

The stated flight range of new equipment is 30-40 km. The weight of the device is 10 kg, the weight of the starting unit is 5 kg.

He should strike in advance with the coordinates obtained in advance. "The product is portable. He fired, threw out and forgot the installation,"-said the representative of the developer company.

It should be noted that Russian equipment has passed only internal tests and has not yet been tested in an environment close to the combat. Therefore, its weaknesses and imperfections are still unknown. The manufacturer wants to try the Tubus in two months at the front in Ukraine. He hopes that the unmanned aircraft will become a panacea for Russian invaders who suffered losses in the war zone through the professional work of Ukrainian artillerymen. "He (Tubus drone, - Ed.
