Russia is going to break the monopoly of Israel and Turkey in the drone market

19

Until recently, Israel and Turkey were the undisputed leaders in the mid- and small-sized attack drone industry. However, the MAKS-2021 air show showed that in the near future they will have to seriously compete with Russia.

Until now, our country has offered only two export UAVs: Orion and Helios-RLD. Both were supplied in a reconnaissance version.



However, this year Russia presented three shock drones at once in versions intended for sale to foreign partners. We are talking about drones "Altius-U", "Thunder" and "Orion-E".

The latter in its characteristics, including weapons and resistance to electronic warfare, is significantly superior to the "famous" Turkish Bayraktar. However, it costs much less than its counterpart, which is offered in the "base" for $ 2,7 million.

Surpasses the "Turk" and our UAV "Altius-U". According to experts, its combat effectiveness is about 1,4 times higher than that of the Bayraktar. At the same time, the Russian drone is equipped with AI, which allows it to perform the most complex maneuvers on the machine, including choosing a target and weapons for an attack.

Finally, "Thunder", which is capable of carrying up to 2 tons of payload and reaching speeds of up to 1 km / h, is actually an unmanned stealth attack aircraft. Its combat radius reaches 700 km. In the future, the drone is planned to be used as an unmanned slave in the forward echelon of strike aviation groups.

Tellingly, all this fighting power is offered at a price significantly lower than that of the industry leaders. Thus, it is obvious that Russia will become a serious competitor in the drone strike market, and it is possible that in the future it will even be able to “squeeze” Israel and Turkey.

    No, not obvious. Obviously, this will only happen after entering the market.

      I have realism. Positive patriotism already once led the USSR to the catastrophe of 1941-42. And earlier, in Finland, it was also not so hot.

    The company "Kronshtadt" together with JSC "Rosoboronexport" at the last International Aviation and Space Salon (MAKS-2021) held negotiations on the supply of a complex of unmanned aerial vehicles "Orion-E" with delegations from 13 countries, including the CIS states, the Middle East, the South -East Asia and Africa.

    The proposal has been made, decisions are not made immediately on the spot, it takes time to consider it.
    The fishing rod is thrown, let's wait and see how it bites.
    But the way this news blows up all sorts of abominations is very significant.
    The swamp seethes and foams and creeps to the fan laughing

    It is high time, we have been going for too long, it is necessary to learn how to react much faster to the various challenges of our opponents, our response should become faster and more adequate, there is simply no time for swinging and thinking.

      What are the shock PSUs? Hundreds, thousands of drones are drawing pictures in the sky. This is more interesting. And awful. The gamer sits and "drives"

    The USSR is a relic of the past ... Now people have a completely different way of thinking. You can only see the wattle fence on everything Russian and not realism. If a realist, then help and not write one negative.

    30 years as the USSR was destroyed, so Russia is going to do everything. Only it can't get everything together, unlike the authorities. Family, business, real estate, have gathered for a long time - far from Russia !!
    It's just mediocrity need to explain that between the words to destroy and is going to destroy - the abyss !!!

    Once again, the touching Russian optimism - the products exist only in the form of exhibition models, and they are already being compared with real combat UAVs and even found more effective. We have already seen huge tank armies from the invincible "Armata", numerous squadrons of Su-57, "unparalleled in the world" and other mind-blowing achievements of the Russian military-industrial complex. laughing
    And poorly educated patriots will never understand that it takes a lot of time to overcome the long-term lag behind the industry leaders, this is at best, you might not catch up - the leaders do not stand still at all.
    Well, the problem of sanctions also plays a very negative role. It is much easier for the Turks and Israelis - they can freely order components around the world, where it is more profitable, and the Russians are forced to rely only on their modest capabilities.
    So wait a moment to rejoice, gentlemen, as the Ukrainians say: "Don't say" Gop! "Until you jump over!"

      It is much easier for the Turks and Israelis - they can freely order components all over the world, where it is more profitable, and the Russians are forced to rely only on their modest capabilities.

      We can afford to do everything ourselves. Let not immediately. Turkey and Israel are not. There won't be enough resources.
      Turkey has already buried itself in this last year. They stopped selling components to her.
      Israel is not immune from this either. Moreover, the United States is out of favor. The United States is increasingly focusing on Iran.
      And in the near foreseeable future, no one will simply donate markets to small states. And one of the tools of the competition will be the deprivation of components. They will either sell their products entirely, or supply components to their subordinates in the currency zone. And who didn't fit in - alas ...
      And those who are too borzel - will remember, will have to curry favor, suddenly forgiven?

        I didn't think that I was communicating with such a dense person. lol The processes of integration and international cooperation are going on all over the world, only the rogue countries are not covered by these processes. Alas, Russia today is also a rogue country, and its products are inferior in quality to competitors and will be inferior in the future. There are no options.

          And China, which Ukraine threw, is also a rogue country in your opinion?

          and its products are inferior in quality to competitors and will be inferior in the future

          It depends on what kind of product. Ex. nuclear power plants are inferior to few. Kamaz takes first places in the competition. Soon the aviation industry will catch up. Not all at once. Gradually, Russia, like China, will become a world workshop for certain types of products. And if German cars are the best in the world, then there's nothing you can do about it. Each country has its own flavor.

    You went into the wrong garden! Soon the Masulman will come to you and return their territories, and the exhibition model will help them with this.

    Well, you are a dancer ... It's only a Jew, like you have one benefit, to cash in on human misery. The Masulmanians have always lived with us and helped us in wars, they are good people ... You ran away from problems, you sit in your Israel and stamp blots! Nobody needs such mummers like you, today he is here and tomorrow there is neither us, nor you. A defector, or whatever was called during the war. Traitor!!!

    And you, Izya, completely fled from your country of Ukraine. And in the United States and Israel, you are a second-class citizen, no matter what you think to yourself.
