A new Cadet-100 parachute system will be tested in Russia by the end of the year. The parachute is designed for Airborne troops units. This is reported by TASS with reference to the press service of the Technodinamika holding of Rostec State Corporation.
The holding noted that flight design tests of the new product have been completed. By the end of 2021, prototypes of the Cadet-2021 parachute system will pass state tests.
"Cadet-100" is designed for training jumps and combat landing of airborne units. The new parachute allows the fighter to perform jumps in full gear from aircraft at speeds from 140 to 350 kilometers per hour.
The parachute system makes it possible to make a full turn in any direction in less than 12 seconds, and the maximum flight weight is 160 kilograms. "Cadet-100" can be used at an altitude of 150 meters.
Earlier, Technodinamika Holding reported on the supply of parachutes to the troops for the landing of dog handlers with service dogs. The Russian Armed Forces will receive a new parachute in 2022.
In October, factory tests of a smart transport parachute system took place in Russia. The new development allows you to drop loads at specified coordinates. The system can also follow the parachutist as a follower.
