Carries up to 500 kg of explosives: presented drone Vila-1 with the capabilities of the winged rocket

To spread: The Vlatacom Serbi Defense Institute presented at the exhibition of the 2025 exhibition in Belgrade its advanced barrel ammunition Vila 1. The Vila 1 system is a modular weapon of the Earth-Earth class to defeat valuable goals at a distance of up to 300 kilometers. Its hybrid structure erodes the border between the winged rocket and drone, writes Army Recognition. It is reported that Vila 1 carries a powerful combat part weighing from 300 to 500 kilograms, depending on the mission.

For various purposes, ammunition offers individual explosive effects. The UAV is started from a tight pipe on an off -road 8x8, is ignited by a solid fuel accelerator and is supported by a turbojet or turbojet engine. After take -off, the system goes into the cruising phase, reaching a speed of 0. 75 Mach, with an additional capacity of dying. One of the key features of Vila 1 is the autonomous guidance system.

At the beginning of the flight, the ammunition uses GNSS/INS navigation, and in the final phase of the lesion goes to the optoelectronic head with bilateral radio communication. The system can recognize, monitor and impress goals without an operator using AI.

"This level of onboard intelligence puts it in a rare category of barrow weapons, which can work with semi -independent logic of targeting, which was previously observed in high -quality systems, such as Israeli Harop or American Switchblade 600, although none of them is a stcenting" The authors of the article point out that, unlike many barrowing ammunition designed for limited endurance and useful loads, Vila 1 is closer to classes of strategic cruise missiles such as Russian X-55 or American AGM-158 Jassm.
