Tsar Drone: What is known about the new Russian heavy drone

‘Tsar Drone’: What is known about the new Russian heavy drone The new heavy-duty quadcopter drone has become one of the highlights of the Army 2024 International Military-Technical Forum. Nicknamed Motylek (lit Moth), the drone is powered by four asynchronous electric motors and can carry up to 230kg of payload. Presumably, the Moth can be equipped with an electronic warfare system or even carry a FAB-250 gravity bomb, which the drone can drop on the enemy from a height of about 100 meters. There is no information, at this time, on the stage and pace of testing. Motylek’s manufacturer, a company called Sovelmash, also announced that the final version of the drone is going to be built using only the components made in Russia. Source: Global News (EU, USA)
