RHM-9
According to the Department of Information and Mass Communications of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the RHM-8 and RHM-9 successfully completed state tests in 2020-2021. All the specified characteristics have been confirmed in full, as a result, the RHM-8 has been accepted for supply to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The RHM-9 is planned to be accepted for supply by the end of this year.
A completely new instrument equipment has been developed for the machines, which provides higher exploration speeds.
Currently, it is possible to collect, process and transmit the received data in real time to the military control systems, as well as to increase the efficiency and reliability of detecting damaging substances.

RHM-8
The machines provide high security of operating calculations.
The RHM-9 includes a complex of aerial radiation reconnaissance of the area based on a copter-type drone, which allows you to operate without the presence of personnel in dangerous zones.
If necessary, the unmanned aerial vehicle can be used to solve other tasks in the interests of the troops when performing RCB-protection measures.
Modern machines are characterized by versatility and autonomy, and the presence of an instrument complex allows you to perform the entire range of tasks for conducting radiation, chemical and non-specific biological reconnaissance, both in peacetime and in wartime.
