Russia embarks on serial production of cutting-edge helicopter drone

Russian Aviaton » Thursday December 7, 2023 14:19 MSK

The presentation of the Termit helicopter drones took place during a visit by Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, to the Rudnevo Industrial Park.

Russia has started serially producing MPD-01 Termit helicopter-type drones, equipped with S-8L missiles.

Artificial intelligence enables the Termit to function in "free hunting" mode, enabling it to locate and target various objects such as armored vehicles, fortifications, and enemy infantry. Having three S-8L fragmentation-fusion missiles, the Termit's accuracy is enhanced through laser guidance from either the drone itself or a ground-based gunner.

The Termit does not require airfields, as it is a helicopter-drone that can take off and land anywhere. It can even be transported on a jeep trailer.

The Russian Termit drone, equipped with S-8L missiles, is ideal for conducting deep attacks into enemy territory, when the risk of losing a vehicle with pilots is too high.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
