The Russian military has reportedly used the experimental drone called “Cherepaha” for the first time to deliver ammunition in a special military operation zone. This information comes from the CEO of the development company “Argo,” Konstantin Bagdasarov, as reported by RIA Novosti.
According to Bagdasarov, the initial prototype of the “Cherepaha” drone is being used in the Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR). The main tasks of the drone include the delivery of ammunition and food supplies. The unmanned aircraft is designed to transport cargo weighing up to 500 kg over a distance of up to 5 km.
The drone is electric-powered, which means it does not produce acoustic noise and is not detectable by thermal imaging cameras. With a body height of approximately 1 meter, it is difficult to spot the drone on the ground.
Previously, British analyst Alexander Mercouris stated that Russian forces were developing measures to completely suppress FPV drones belonging to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in the combat zone.
Earlier, the commander of the AFU stated that Russia has an advantage in the use of FPV drones.
