Analysts note that, according to the Russians, flight tests of the product are planned to begin in the first half of 2024.
Russian design bureau Strategy launched a budget analogue of the Iranian Shahed drone called Hawk with a flight range of 350 kilometers and a warhead of 800 kilograms. This is stated in a report by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
The bureau said Russian troops will use UAVs Hawk as bait to divert the attention of Ukraine’s air defense forces. That is, to use the tactics used by Russian troops earlier during a series of attacks on Ukraine.
Flight testing of the prototype is currently underway, and it is planned to begin flight testing of the finished, modified product in the first half of 2024.
As we have already written, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky announced the creation of 1 million drones by 2024. And every Ukrainian is invited to join the preparation of UAVs.
In addition, Ukraine began to produce artillery systems according to NATO standards and doubled the production of ammunition.
