Russia received the first strike drone. Modern weapons of Russia UAV breakthrough

Irkut Corporation has begun testing an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as part of the Proryv (Proryv) development work (formerly known as the Yak-133 project). The device is able to conduct reconnaissance and, if necessary, destroy enemy targets, while remaining invisible to its radars. The novelty is built according to the original aerodynamic scheme and looks very different from traditional aircraft.

In the future, the latest drone will be equipped not only with air-to-ground guided missiles and bombs, but also with optoelectronic systems, electronic intelligence systems and even a radar.

As the interlocutor of Izvestia in the aircraft industry noted, the aerodynamic design of the latest drone (a combination of the geometric and structural design of the aircraft) is very complex, containing many unique technical solutions that have not previously been used in any of the serial aircraft.

At the design stage, there were discussions between representatives of the Zhukovsky Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI), Irkut and the Yakovlev Design Bureau, during which opinions were expressed that an apparatus of this form would not be able to fly at all, one of the project participants told Izvestia. - Doubts were dispelled only after the first test flight took place in August. Everything went well, congratulations to the designers.

The composition of the armament of the drone has not yet been fully determined, but it is already known that the UAV will destroy stationary targets with bombs with laser and optical homing heads, as well as those corrected by the GLONASS signal.

The unique aerodynamic scheme of the drone makes it possible to make the UAV invisible to enemy radars even at the moment when it uses weapons or conducts reconnaissance, but also quite maneuverable and fast,” the aircraft manufacturer said. - In order for the latest drone with the selected aerodynamic configuration to be able to fly, it was necessary to do a very difficult job of integrating the UAV, which, in particular, involved specialists from Roscosmos.

The term "integration" means the reduction of the operation of all systems and subsystems installed on board the aircraft into a single complex. According to the interlocutor of Izvestia, using modern technologies, even a stool can be made to fly and perform maneuvers, but the problem remains how to control such a product.

All aircraft systems must act as a complex, as a single organism. If the pilot, for example, begins to perform a maneuver, then all onboard systems - navigation, engine control, etc. - taking into account the design of the aircraft and its characteristics, they optimize their work so that they can perform the given maneuver without disruption, - the representative of the aircraft industry explained. - In modern aircraft, there are several thousand different systems and subsystems that control and manage hundreds of flight parameters, and the pilot cannot independently monitor the operation of each. Therefore, modern aircraft are equipped with information and control systems (ICS), which make the aircraft work as a complex.

The most important part of integration is to prescribe algorithms and mathematical formulas that specify the logic and operation parameters of all aircraft systems, which, having turned into a special program, are embedded in the aircraft IMS.

Unmanned technologies in Russia are now developing very actively both in the state industry and in the private segment, - says Sergey Zhukov, head of the AeroNet direction of the National Technology Initiative. - If we talk about gliders, then we are now approximately at the level of world standards in terms of small UAVs and have a non-critical - less than three years - lag in terms of ultra-light composite structures for large UAVs. If we talk about navigation and control systems, then our developments are not inferior to foreign analogues, but the minus is that they are still made on a foreign element base. In terms of power plants, we are somewhat behind, but I can state that we are currently developing in the field of localizing the production of piston and turbojet engines, so that the domestic industry is closing this niche at an accelerated pace. For processing monitoring data, we create our own problem-oriented products and are already bringing them to the world market. And in terms of integration into the common airspace, we may even be ahead of the world level by 1-2 years.

On the official website of the OKB im. Yakovlev, there is a mention that this UAV was developed on the basis of the Yak-130 UBS with the processing of the original project by 60%.

At the design stage, there were discussions between representatives of the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute named after Zhukovsky (TsAGI), Irkut and Yakovlev Design Bureau, during which opinions were expressed that an apparatus of this form would not be able to fly at all, - said one of the project participants. - Doubts were dispelled only after the first test flight took place in August.

Specialists of the Institute of Nuclear Physics. G.I. Budker of the SB RAS (INP SB RAS) manufactured an industrial accelerator of the ILU-8 family for the Special Design Bureau of the cable industry (OKB KP, Mytishchi). It will allow the customer to increase productivity by 100 times and reduce the cost of the production process by 25% compared to the method that is currently used.

After irradiation, the strength of the products increases, as well as the heat resistance increases, they become suitable for use at temperatures reaching 200 degrees Celsius. With the help of ILU-8, specialists of the Design Bureau of KP plan to organize mass production of new types of wires for the military industry.

“Processing of cable products at the ILU-8 accelerator,” Vadim Viktorovich Bezuglov, a researcher at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, comments, “will allow the specialists of the OKB KP to increase production by a hundred times - a wire 0.12 centimeters thick is irradiated at a speed of 120 meters per minute. This process significantly increases the strength of the product. According to the requirements, the wire must withstand at least 300 cycles of exposure to a steel string. Products processed at the ILU-8 facility withstand from 600 to 1300 such impacts. The use of an accelerator significantly reduces the cost of production, since the OKB KP irradiation method currently used is based on the use of an expensive and rather dangerous radioactive isotope - cobalt-60.

OKB KP specialists will use the ILU-8 accelerator for mass production of a new type of wire with fluoroplastic composites. Fluoroplastic two-layer insulation has a number of advantages. This is a lot of material, and the wires covered with it can be easily pulled through narrow channels inside aircraft or other equipment where space saving is important. Such a wire is heat resistant and can withstand temperatures up to 200 degrees Celsius.

Employees of the OKB KP have already begun processing wires of various thicknesses at ILU-8. Laboratory analysis of irradiated samples indicates that they meet the requirements.

The ILU-8 accelerator is an example of import substitution in high-tech production, since it is a cost-effective, high-quality equipment, in favor of which large state and commercial enterprises choose, refusing foreign analogues because of the high cost and complexity of maintenance.

ILU-8 is the most compact accelerator of the ILU family, its height with radiation protection is 3 meters, width and length are 2.5 meters each, weight with radiation protection is 76 tons. The advantage of this accelerator is that it does not need to build a separate bunker, the protection is a box of thick steel plates. The unit can be placed directly in the customer's workshop, and all the necessary equipment can be installed next to it. This factor significantly reduces the cost of production.
