The Norwegian company Nammo has introduced a new concept of an impact drone. The aircraft was combined with a common model of the M72 LAW anti-tank grenade launcher. This is reported by Army Recognition.
The grenade launcher was mounted vertically on the drone. This allows you to attack targets in the least protected upper hemisphere. A single-use grenade launcher can hit the enemy's manpower, fortifications and armored vehicles.
The publication notes that the effective range of the grenade launcher is 350 meters, and the ability to attack targets from above allows you to increase this parameter. The range of hitting targets is limited only by the capabilities of the drone. The drone's equipment provides signal transmission at a range of up to four kilometers.
The M72 66 mm grenade launcher is characterized by insufficient effectiveness against modern tanks. However, the ability to attack tanks in the least protected areas increases the effectiveness of weapons against heavy armored vehicles.
In October, the head of the Turkish Defense Industry Department, Ismail Demir, reported on the tests of a small-sized METE missile. The ammunition is intended for arming infantry and quadrocopters.
In August, Almaz-Antey Concern of East Kazakhstan Region conducted tests of the Krechet interceptor drone. The drone received a shotgun, which allows it to hit small aircraft.
