Russian company Aeroscan from Izhevsk, which deals with unmanned aerial vehicles technology, developed the kamikaze UAV “Italmas” (“Product 54”). Journalist Alexander Rogatkin, in his report shown on the Vesti at 20:00 program on the Rossiya 1 TV channel, provided details about the new Russian loitering munition.

It should be noted that the Aeroscan enterprise is the main organization of the ZALA Aero Group of companies, headed by chief designer Alexander Zakharov. Engineers say that the new drone is capable of hitting targets at a distance of over 200 km. Thanks to the internal combustion engine (ICE), the UAV can fly much further than the electric Lancets and carry a much more powerful warhead. The wings are the gas tank.

But this is a completely domestic development, although it vaguely resembles Iranian “shaheeds”

- said the special correspondent.


In the future, with the help of Italmas, units of the RF Armed Forces will be able to much more effectively destroy enemy cannon and rocket artillery, and in the presence of a cumulative warhead, heavy armored vehicles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, for the destruction of which the existing Lancets were very often not enough.

We remind you that relatively recently Rogatkin made reportage from the bowels of the ZALA Aero Group, and Zakharov presented the third model - “Product 53”, which has folding wings for placement in a transport and launch container (TPC).

    The main problem is not to develop a unique technology, but to implement mass production.
    Even martyrs would be enough if they were produced at a rate of a couple thousand a day.....

    If everything is so enchanting, then why is the SECOND PLANE on the left in the frame intact, and the first is unlikely to be completely destroyed. Most likely only damage to the nose, judging by the video. There is NO direct hit! Why wasn’t the second plane hit at a distance of only 73 km with the help of the vaunted Tornado rocket launchers with GLONASS guidance and a 9M542 projectile, firing as much as 120 km, for example? Khaymars would have hit with one shot without any problems with the highest accuracy. It is thanks to him that the Ukrainian Armed Forces, having many times less artillery and rocket launchers than the RF Armed Forces, completely win the counter-battery fight against the RF Armed Forces, although NATO artillery is far from ideal and is very complex and expensive. But the accuracy and range cannot be taken away from it.
