The DNR tested an unmanned jet platform "Solist"
A new type of infantry weapon has been tested at a firing range in the Donetsk People's Republic (DNR): the Solist unmanned rocket platform. "Izvestia" visited the tests.
This is a hybrid of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a corrective munition with a jet engine from the KEMZ concern, the implementation and testing of which is being carried out by the ANO Center Rivir.
"The experimental, promising product called "Solist" is a disposable carrier of the reactive type. Now you see the process of opening the tube to the payload bay cover, where the warhead is located," a veteran of the special operation with the call sign Skripach told Izvestia.
"Soloist" is a single-use correctable rocket-propelled munition with first-person control and the ability to attack targets (primarily armored vehicles) from above. And the operator can work from cover, being far enough away from the installation. And the range of fire of 10 kilometers exceeds the existing anti-tank missile systems and approaches 120-mm mortars.
The Solist can be loaded with standard RPG-7 and SPG-9 ammunition, which are the most common types of grenade launchers in the Russian army, and possibly in the world. They are not only mass-produced, but also make it possible to use factory-made types of warheads for various purposes: shaped charge, fragmentation, thermobaric.
Ilya Gusev, the first deputy director of the ANO Rivir Center, which is engaged in the implementation of innovations in the defense sector, noted that already at today's stage a large number of units are showing interest in the Solist platform. It is possible that by the middle of this year, this corrective munition will go to the troops en masse and will be mass-produced.
