Moscow, 10 February: Military personnel of the Russian military base
of the Southern Military District (SMD) in Armenia have begun testing
the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system Navodchik-2, the SMD's press
service has said.
"The test flights are being carried out day and night under
various weather conditions. The latest equipment installed on the
unmanned aerial systems makes it possible to track multiple targets
simultaneously, even through clouds and at night. An important factor
of the new development is that these UAVs are completely invisible
from the ground," reads the press release received by Interfax-AVN
on Monday [10 February].
According to the press service, the Navodchik-2 system includes four
types of the Granat UAV. These systems have different objectives that
make it possible to conduct reconnaissance and special tasks. They
can conduct long and high-altitude flights, which is very important
when operating in the mountains.
