The army of the Russian Federation will transfer the "clones" of switchblade drones for tests in Ukraine: what are dangerous for the Armed Forces

The drone, armed with explosives, can climb 200 meters to the sky and fly to 30 kilometers, the developers say. Russian invaders are going to test a new model of drones-Kamikadze in Ukraine composite materials called "Bass-80", which can carry up to 500 grams of explosives and are launched from a special tube with a powder charge. About it told the Russian agency RIA Novosti CEO of the company for the development of UAV NGO "Android technologies" Yevgeny Dudorov.

He noted that composite materials made "Bass-80" as light and compact as possible. The drone weighs 1. 7 kg, and thanks to the design of the complex wing, it can be packed in a tube for carrying the operator. It is worth noting that in its design and appearance "Bass-80" is similar to a copy of the American bargage ammunition Switchblade-300, which Ukrainian troops have been applying against the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation since 2022.

The basic capacity of the drone in 500 grams is going to increase in the future to 2 kilograms. The drone develops up to 130 km/h, rises to a height of 200 meters and can fly 30 kilometers, the developers say. Representatives of NGO "Android technologies" have already passed the drones of the "royal wolves" group, headed by the former head of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin.

This group is allegedly engaged in providing high -tech equipment and its servicing of the army of the Russian Federation and units of fighters of the so -called "DNR" and "LNR". Earlier, it became known that Russia puts a grand plan to collect 50,000 drones in the next 7 years. Experts doubt that the aggressor country will succeed-there will be a lack of specialists and the pressure of sanctions on the supply of electronic components.

From the end of February and early September this year, Russia has lost about 300 reconnaissance drones in Ukraine, and in total, 4650 Russian UAVs have shot down from the beginning of the attack on Ukraine air defense. Meanwhile, the invaders are preparing for winter and are urgently looking for various accessories in China for their drones. In August, several Chinese cities were visited by a group of entrepreneurs from Aerotek (develops and manufactures unmanned equipment).
