Project "Archangel" Russian Interceptor UAV and Build list

£10.00

After a lot of digging, I've managed to expose these project files for a russian interceptor project that's being tested by russian engineers.  

Quoted figures from the drones build are:

"The range is 50 kilometres.

Recent tests have shown that the drone can reach speeds of up to 340 km/h without losing control or aerodynamics.

At the same time, the cruising speed for long-distance flights is 100-120 km/h. at 33 percent power level. If you give the gas up to 50%, the rocket will accelerate to 200 km/h, but the flight range in this mode will be 25-30 kilometres.

The weight of the warhead in the presented model is 500-700 grams.

In civilian use the drone can be equipped with a weighted head and used as a kinetic battering ram.  

 

The ideal use case is a close connection with an air defence radar, in which case the air defence operator, seeing the target, will be able to use the instruments to guide the drone with a corner reflector to the enemy's intended bird. "
