A new dual-purpose quadcopter with the name "Wind" was developed in St. Petersburg. In the future, it should replace Chinese drones purchased by volunteers in the Russian troops. This was announced by Vladislav Udaltsov, head of the laboratory of unmanned aerial vehicles of the Kotlin-Innovator company.

According to the developers, the "Wind" was developed as an alternative to Chinese drones, while it is a dual-use UAV. The quadcopter is a proprietary development of the company, it is designed for operations in the near zone. With a mass of 1.8 kg, it is capable of carrying 1 kg of payload. The drone has a noise-proof control channel and a folding design. The maximum speed is 78 km/h.

For reconnaissance, the "Wind" has a camera with a six-fold approximation and a 93-degree viewing angle on a gyro-stabilized suspension. For use as an attack drone, the drone has special places for mounting the reset system.

Now this device is entering mass production. Then we will optimize and modernize it. Next year we plan to produce about 100 sets per month. The increase in output volumes will depend on the order and expansion of production

- TASS quotes Udaltsov's words.

As noted in the company, this drone will not be lost in the civilian market, the equipment installed on it allows you to shoot high-quality video and photographic materials from a bird's-eye view.
