러시아, 무인 공격헬기 양산 시작

[위종민]

러시아가 미사일을 발사할 수 있는 MDP-01 '터마이트' 무인공격헬기 양산을 시작했다고 합니다. 드미트리 메드베데프 러시아 안보리 부의장이 모스크바 루드네보 산업단지에서 열린 기념식에 참가했다고 하네요. 

최대 이륙중량 450kg, 최고속도 150km, 최대 비행고도 3,500m라고 하고, S-8 항공로켓에서 파생된 최대사거리 6km의 반능동 레이저 유도 미사일은 C-8L을 탑재할 수 있다고 합니다.

Russia has initiated the serial production of the “Termite” unmanned attack helicopter, a new development capable of deploying precision-guided laser-targeted missiles.

The unveiling took place during the visit of Russia’s Deputy Security Council Chairman, Dmitry Medvedev, to Moscow’s industrial park, “Rudnevo.”

The undisclosed contract for a significant quantity of these drones was signed as early as 2021.

The helicopter-type drone, developed and manufactured by the Scientific-Production Enterprise “Strela” in Zhukovsky, part of the Kronshtadt Group, boasts a maximum takeoff weight of 450 kilograms, a top speed of 150 kilometers per hour, and a maximum flight altitude of 3,500 meters.

Equipped with precision weaponry, the MDP-01 “Termite” UAV is set to carry the C-8L guided missiles featuring semi-active laser guidance. This armament serves as an analogue to APKWS but exhibits a significantly higher level of refinement compared to the basic unguided rocket projectile.

The S-8L missile, the drone’s primary armament, derives from the unguided aviation rockets S-8 utilized by Russian military aviation. Unlike its predecessor S-8 rockets, the S-8L features a semi-active homing warhead with a fragmentation-explosive payload, boasting a range of up to 6 kilometers.

This missile system represents a significant leap in targeting precision, enabling the drone operator to designate and track targets along a laser beam.

조종사가 지상통제소에서 원격 조종하는 방식이겠죠?

아마도요. 탑재하는 미사일도 반능동 레이저 유도인데 저 기체 하나로 레이저 조사까지 가능할 지 모르겠습니다. 코 앞에 달린게 조사기인지 그냥 센서인지..
