The last stage of development work to create a helicopter drone is being completed in Russia.
In Russia, the device has no analogues in its class.Its developer is the Strela Research and Production Enterprise. A little about the performance characteristics of the drone was told by an expert on armaments, head of the special design bureau of NPP Strela, Boris Trunov. According to the expert, apart from the practical firing of unguided and guided missiles, which has no analogues in Russia, the Termit is capable of taking off from unprepared sites, and is also intended for off-airfield deployment. The drone received a surveillance and sighting station and missiles with a laser homing head.
“The target is captured by the operator.He puts it on escort, then the drone acts autonomously - the artificial intelligence algorithms embedded in the logic of the weapons control system are turned on, but at the same time, the operator makes the final decision on launching the rocket, ”Trunov emphasized.
