MOSCOW, March 18. /TASS/. Krasnodar designers and the Kulibin Club will hand over to Russian troops in Ukraine 2,000 UDK kamikaze drones that deceive electronic warfare by switching video and control channels, the People’s Front told TASS.
"UDK are kamikaze drones with a control system that automatically changes frequencies in flight. It is also possible to manually change the frequency of video transmission. It is a method to bypass hostile electronic warfare and win time for the mission. Our drones have destroyed over 50 US-made Bradley vehicles and over 30 M777 artillery guns," it said.
UDK can carry a 4-kg payload. The first US-made MaxxPro armored vehicle was destroyed by the drone.
The front said over 10 thousand drones had been delivered to Ukraine operation zone and another batch of 2,000 units is prepared.
The Kulibin Club of the People’s Front selects, tests and supports serial production of the best innovations by Russian engineers. This initiative has helped deliver thousands of hi-tech electronic warfare systems to the frontline to counter enemy drones. Russian troops have also received quadcopters, self-propelled robotic carts and other innovative equipment.
