On the eve of the opening of the international military-technical forum "Army-2022", the Kalashnikov subsidiary ZALA aero showed a serial sample of the ZALA 421-24 quadrocopter unmanned complex, the correspondent of RBC reports.
The drone is able to remain invisible due to its low acoustic and visual visibility. It is controlled by a manual controller, including from the vehicle.
Dimensions are 540x540x190 mm, can fly for more than 30 minutes at an altitude of up to 1500 m. The speed develops up to 30 km / h, the communication range is more than 3.5 km.
The Russian-made ZALA 421-24 is stable in operation under conditions of suppression by electronic warfare, a representative of ZALA aero told RBC. According to him, the drone has already been tested.
In the summer of 2019, Kalashnikov completed factory tests of the ZALA Lancet attack drone. This is a kamikaze drone that can independently detect and attack a target. He is also able to barrage - stay in the air for a long time, waiting to strike. For the first time, the Lancet was presented at the Army-2019 forum. Then the head of Rostec Corporation Sergey Chemezov noted that the new drone is more effective than standard types of weapons and at the same time costs "disproportionately less." State tests of the new drones were supposed to begin at the end of 2021.
