Russia testing new drone in Armenia
Military personnel at the Russian base in Armenia have begun tests of the new UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) complex Novodchik-2, Russian news agency ITAR-TASS reported, quoting the press service of the Southern Military District (SMD), according to ArmeniaNow.com.
“Test flights at the Kamkhud and Alagyaz educational-training complexes are being conducted day and night in different climatic conditions including mountainous locations,” the SMD said.
Drones are used for aerial reconnaissance and jamming. They can carry out combat missions at any time due to their photo equipment, infrared and video modules that can be used to detect even a well-disguised enemy. The maximum speed of the aircraft is about 120 kilometers per hour, with the maximum altitude is up to 3,000 meters.
