Manned aviation acts mainly as a strike weapon against targets detected by Sirius, noted in the company "Kronstadt"


MOSCOW, February 4. /TASS/. The latest Russian heavy unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) "Sirius" will be able to work as part of reconnaissance and strike circuits together with manned aviation. This was reported to TASS in the press service of the company "Kronstadt".


"The ability to interact with manned aviation means joint work as part of reconnaissance and strike circuits, where the complex with uaVs acts as a reconnaissance and an operational strike weapon against ground and surface objects detected by it. Manned aviation acts mainly as a strike weapon against targets detected by Sirius," the company said.


Earlier it was reported that serial deliveries to the troops of new Sirius drones will begin in 2023.

"Sirius" (experimental design work "Inokhodets-RU") is a further development of the Orion drones, has two engines and an increased take-off weight. The first flight is expected in May 2022. Sirius will be serially produced at the first specialized plant for the production of large-sized UAVs built by Kronstadt in Dubna.

 December 2022 Soyuz-2.1b - Glonass-K1 No. 16L Start time: GLONASS-K (Global Navigation Satellite System) is the latest modification of the satellite that is part of the Russian radio navigation satellite system GLONASS. Developed by the Reshetnev ISS (Reshetnev Information Satellite Systems) and first launched on February 26, 2011, it is a significant improvement over the previous second-generation GLONASS-M satellites with longer service life and greater accuracy. GLONASS-K is the first non-pressurized GLONASS satellite - all of its equipment is capable of operating in a vacuum. Thanks to this, the mass of the satellite was significantly reduced: GLONASS-K has a mass of only 935 kg compared to its predecessor GLONASS-M, which had a mass of 1450 kg. The service life of the new satellite is 10 years, three years longer than that of GLONASS-M and seven years longer than that of the original GLONASS satellite. The power supply of GLONASS-M was also increased from 1400 W to 1600 W. GL...
