First day of Russian forum #Army2022 #Армия2022. What’s new in #UAV game? Not much so far. Two models of wannabe MQ-1 Predator - Orion-E with control station, and old Foton-601 construction developed by Ruskosmos with Samara University.

A little bit more in the copter sector. Rostec showed a new Russian-Belarusian unmanned system BAS-750 with a flight time up to 6 hours.
Also concept of cargo drone S700 with 16(!) engines and lift up to 200kg was displayed.

For the first time Kalashnikov showed serial model of (not very impressive) small recon quadrocopter Zala-421-24.

Seems that new Russian counter-UAV systems were also tested…

Iranian MoD came with pretty rich offer. No surprise here considering rumors of Russian interest in procuring drones from Teheran.

Iranian Deputy of General Staff Brig. Gen. Ali Abdollahi visited #ARMY2022. In interview with Sputnik said there is no agreement signed with Moscow concerning production of drones in Russia. @oryxspioenkop

Also Medvedev’s (yes, this Medvedev) tech incubator (Skolkovo Foundation) brought some of the startups. Technoveter (technowind.ru) displayed prototype of VTOL cargo drone with lift capability up to 10kg.

#RussianArmy going full “Dune” mode. “Compact bionic-robotic device - Ornithopter”. PLA filament + duct tape technology.
