New ‘Vidsich’ (Pushback – ed.) unmanned aerial vehicle will be mass-produced in Ukraine.
The development was handled by First Contact, a company that has been working with UAVs since 2014.
The drone is designed to attack Russian positions and can carry a 2-3 kg warhead to a distance of up to 40 km under the control of an operator.
“One of the advantages of this model is its discreetness: it is basically invisible and not heard in the sky during operation,” the Army of Drones reported.
The drone has already been tested in combat conditions. The developers specified that the new UAV operates in tandem with reconnaissance drones.
Technical characteristics of ‘Vidsich’ UAV:
- payload weight: 3 kg;
- range: up to 40 km;
- speed: up to 100 km/h;
- flight altitude: up to 2 km.
Earlier, it was reported that ‘Vidsich’ has a brushless DC motor with a power of 1100 watts. The battery capacity is 2Х10000 mA hour.
The drone can be deployed within 15 minutes. It is a remotely piloted aircraft that has the ability to program the flight route.
The ‘Vidsich’ UAV was assigned a code in the NATO codification system in 2023 and is designed to deliver targeted equipment to institutions of various types and subordination.
“The UAV, which is part of the system, is a tactical strike fixed-wing aircraft,” the developers shared.
The system is operated day and night without exceeding operational restrictions.
Recently, the Cabinet of Ministers adopted a decision to simplify the import of materials for the production of ammunition and warheads for UAVs.
