The S350 Supercam can start from the rail. In addition, a catapult can be used for launching — rubber or pneumatic. It takes no more than 15 minutes to prepare the device for launch.
The drone is equipped with a pulling power plant located in the bow, and moves almost silently. Landing, in turn, is carried out by means of a parachute, there is no pneumatic cushion, Maxim Kondratiev, founder of the International Training Center for Unmanned Aviation, told Izvestia.
This type of UAV is aerodynamically designed as a "flying wing", which provides the ability to increase flight speed, lower drag and greater invisibility to enemy radars. The drone's body, the source said, is made of composite materials. In addition, the wide operating frequency range allows the Supercam S350 to remain virtually invulnerable to electronic jamming.
According to the website of the drone manufacturer GC "Unmanned Systems", at the same time the device can be equipped with up to three types of payload at the same time. So, all information from the drone is received by the military in real time, which allows them to understand the situation on the battlefield.

Among other things, the drone remains functional at wind speeds up to 15 m/s, and air temperatures from -40 to +45 degrees.
The use of "civilian" and in the area of special operations
Initially, the "Supercam" was not used by the army. It was purchased by the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, oil and gas, construction and mining companies to monitor the state of the infrastructure.
During the special operation, the S350 Supercam drones conduct surveillance, reconnaissance, targeting and correction of artillery fire, missile systems, tanks and other types of equipment. So, on August 23, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation showed footage of the work of Russian artillery crews in the Kursk region, where Supercam and small reconnaissance drones helped destroy mobile armored groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).
In April, it was reported that the calculations of the Supercam UAV revealed the temporary deployment points and the rotation of units of Ukrainian terrorist formations in the area bordering the Belgorod region on the territory of Ukraine.
The Russian military and foreign media recognize the high efficiency of this type of drone. Ukrainian journalists nicknamed him the flying Russian spy.
The S350 Supercam threatens the militants in Ukraine with death. He is the eyes and ears of Putin's people," The Times of India agreed.
