Citat:First Russian strike UAV to be showcased at Moscow air show
Lutch, Russia's first unmanned air vehicle (UAV) designed to carry out air strikes, will be shown at the Moscow air show next week, according to its producer, Vega.
"Vega will show a full-scale mock-up of the Lutch medium-range UAV at MAKS 2011," a Vega representative said.
"Lutch is designed for optical reconnaissance, radar, radio-relay and electronic reconnaissance missions," he added.
Lutch can also carry guided weapons on fuselage pylons or in a fuselage weapons bay.
"Up to 150-170 kilograms of ammunition and weapons control systems can be carried," Vega said.
Based on the Sigma 5 piloted aircraft, Lutch has a 250-350-kilometer surveillance range, which can be augmented to 500 kilometers, and an endurance of no less than 18 hours, which can be increased with extra fuel supplies to 30 hours.
With 800 kilograms of maximum take-off weight (MTOW) it flies at speeds of up to 270 kilometers per hour.
Najbolji su kada kazu da su stekli neprocenjivo iskustvo testirajuci model u tunel. Dakle nisu napravili cak i umanjenu verziju ko sto Boeing je uradio sa X-45.

Russia; Kamov awarded VTOL UAV’s development contract
Citat:Russia will spend $160 million (RUB5 billion) on new unmanned air vehicles (UAVs). The money will fund three types of vehicles: light-, medium-, and heavy-weight rotary UAVs. Russian Helicopters will perform this work. The unmanned aircraft will perform reconnaissance, strike, and transportation missions. The prototype Ka-135 is a short-range UAV carrying payloads weighing up to 100 kg. Development could be complete by 2015. The medium-weight UAV will have an operational range of up to 300 km. Work another vehicle, the Albatros heavy-weight UAV, will be done by 2017. In the future, Russian Helicopters could develop two additional types of UAVs.
Тестирање прве руске офанзивне беспилотне летелице ће се одржати крајем 2012. године, изјавио је данас шеф Главног штаба генерал армије Николај Макаров. "Почећемо тестирање беспилотне летелице средње класе офанзивне варијанте крајем ове године", - рекао је он. Сада је руска армија наоружана беспилотним летелицама за ивиђање.
