“We are working on heavier types of drones… We’ve done all necessary R&D work and, together with the Defense Ministry, we are going to work on UAVs weighing over 750 kilograms”, Andrei Shibitov said.
Earlier this year engineers at the United Instrument Corporation, a branch of the state-owned innovation corporation Rostec conceptualized a new two-ton unmanned aerial vehicle, capable of transporting supplies, personnel, reconnaissance equipment and onboard weapons systems.
A prototype of the two-ton drone may be approved following a series of tests planned for this summer.
