Russian attack drones will carry weapons without guidance systems. Yesterday, on August 12, the Izvestia newspaper reported that the Russian Defense Ministry is developing a new weapon system for attack unmanned aerial vehicles. According to Izvestia, drones will receive not only "smart", but also ordinary unguided bombs.

The document is in a high degree of readiness and is being approved. It is planned to develop a line of lightweight aviation ammunition for small vehicles, while promising UAVs will be able to use ultra-long-range strategic cruise missiles.
Bombs and missiles without guidance systems are much cheaper than their "smart" counterparts, but they have low accuracy of hitting targets. Portal defenseworld.net he notes that the trend of arming Russian drones contradicts world practice. The military in different countries are trying to minimize collateral damage by investing in the development and purchase of high-precision weapons.
