The Russian company Sukhoi launches the most advanced multipurpose drone the planet.
The Russian aerospace company Sukhoi plans to launch a new multipurpose drone more advanced, as part of the creation of a family of unmanned aircraft capable of covering a wide range of missions.
This year the reconnaissance drone 12 tonnes under the name Zond debuts , while working in parallel in the creation of an unmanned aircraft gunner 20 tons , the first trial will took place in 2.016.
The creation of new drones carried out in accordance with the program of development of the armed forces of Russia until 2.020.
The new complex unmanned Zond has been developed for monitoring the airspace and land and water surfaces.
Furthermore, it is able to perform specific tasks such as taking pictures , monitor hydrometeorological study the atmosphere and radiation levels in disaster areas , as published Warfiles.ru .
The new drone will also have the ability to carry out seismic monitoring , status monitoring pipelines and power lines, making geological observations , probe or measuring subsurface ice conditions and even the tides.
The attack version , weighing 20 tons , is developed on the platform of the fighter jet T-50 fifth generation .
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu , demanded last summer accelerate job creation in this machine.
Tests of the first unmanned attack aircraft Russian
The commander of the General Staff , General Nikolai Makarov Army , reports that by the end of 2.012 is planned to begin testing the first unmanned attack aircraft of Russian manufacture.
Currently , the Russian military has unmanned aircraft designed to perform reconnaissance .
