2024: Start of production
In early April 2024, it became known that the production of Brus-1 drones intended for use during military operations began in Russia. Such drones can be used to destroy dugouts, strongholds, armored vehicles, including tanks, armored personnel carriers and howitzers.
According to TASS, Brus-1 belongs to the FPV (First Person View) class: such drones are equipped with a camera and transmit video in real time to the pilot's device. The device is used in the area of a special operation.
| We received an order for 1,000 copies of the Brus-1 FPV drone. In total, by the end of this year [2024], it is planned to send up to 2 thousand copies of this drone to the SVO zone, - says a representative of the developer company. |
The drone is capable of taking on board a payload weighing up to 2 kg. In this case, the flight altitude can be reached up to 1 km. Cruising speed of flight to the target - 60 km/h, if it is necessary to hit the object at a distance of up to 7 km. It is claimed that the device is resistant to most electronic warfare equipment used by the enemy. As of the beginning of April 2024, the drone is used in the Artyomovsk and Avdeevsky directions.
| In total, since the beginning of the special operation, Russian units have received about 3.5 thousand copies of this FPV drone, the TASS source said.[1] |
