Drone developer Kuzyakin: Russian "Joker" forced a company of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to surrender
The Russian military in the zone of special military operation (SVO) uses the latest FPV drones "Joker", developed by the Center for Integrated Unmanned Solutions (CCDB). According to the general director of the enterprise Dmitry Kuzyakin, one small drone "captured" an entire company of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).

Thus, he described the most important target that the "Jokers" hit on the battlefield. Currently, the developer has created a whole line of combat drones, the latest model, the Joker-10, can fly at speeds up to 100 kilometers per hour with a payload of up to five kilograms and up to 200 kilometers per hour without load.
The Russian military remotely "unwound" the second line of defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Kuzyakin told what exactly the Ukrainian military saw before they decided to surrender.
According to him, the Armed Forces of Ukraine expected a "conventional war" with anti-tank calculations and machine-gun attacks, occupying a classic line of defense.

The head of the enterprise added that the Ukrainian soldiers realized the senselessness of resistance. The mass surrender became the main trophy in the center's activities.
The latest Joker drones can lie in wait in sleep mode for up to a month
The latest Joker-10 drones have unique characteristics that help save the lives of their operators, Kuzyakin said .
So, a drone can lie in wait for up to a month. It is equipped with a hibernator, which allows you to remotely de-energize the device, and not just turn off the motors.
The calculation of the drone operators can leave the UAV at the launch position in the off state and leave undetected by the AFU electronic reconnaissance. Then the device is switched on remotely.

Kuzyakin clarified that there is practically no radio emission from the drone, and it is extremely difficult to detect it in sleep mode. To check the operation of the drone in all weather conditions, the Central Research Bureau tests it with a high-pressure washer. The developers confirm that electronics will not fail in bad weather.
The Joker-10 can switch off on its own after reaching the waiting area, the director General of the Central Bank added.

The drone explodes when it hits the enemy
Another feature of the latest model is the maximum degree of protection, the drone explodes when it hits the enemy, because it has an electric detonator driver installed on it, the developer said.
To date, the enemy has not yet got any of our drones, because the driver is guaranteed to work either on a timer, or on impact, or at the command of the pilot. It will also work if you try to destroy it or cut the wires

Earlier it became known that in the special operation zone near Artemovsk (the Ukrainian name of the city is Bakhmut), a new type of Russian drones was used — the "queen" of drones "Bee". A hybrid of aircraft and quadcopter type drones equipped with an internal combustion engine is a platform for carrying airborne FPV drones.
