Its efficient engine allows the drone to make a continuous flight of up to 8 hours. The information gathered by the drone is processed and transmitted to the ground systems in real time.

The design of the UAV uses innovative engineering solutions that provide it with advantages in terms of maneuverability, altitude and flight range. In particular, its power generation system, remote start-up of engines and electronic engine regulator surpass foreign UAVs of this class in several parameters”, said Oleg Yevtushenko, the Executive Director of Rostec.
