You mean this ways +1500Kgs?This forum has it's own share of trolls. In case it escaped your notice, Rustom approximate weight is above 1500 kgs and it's made for endurance and loitering, not high speed and thrills shown in video. Even the current smaller prototype is working well enough.
Coming back to topic, I don't understand how crash of one prototype signals end of whole Russian UAV program. It's just a prototype. Knowledge and people still survived and that's what really matters. Tell me one aircraft design program in world which didn't have it's share of crashes (except LCA).
That is a scaled down version you posted.You mean this ways +1500Kgs?
Is it a scale model? It don't even look like what Rustom is advertised as being.If you'd have bothered to read the Wiki page, you'd have seen that it is a scale model. Not the actual prototype of RUSTOM, the Indian Unmanned Aerial Combat Vehicle. Wiki also says it's weight as 1800 kg and wingspan 20m.
For size reference just see the video posted above and guess the size of scaled down prototype.
That's Rustom-1.Is it a scale model? It don't even look like what Rustom is advertised as being.
Someone at DRDO's garage said we need a uav model quick, throw an RC plane together!
Do you know what a SCALE model is?If you'd have bothered to read the Wiki page, you'd have seen that it is a scale model.
That video is like a huge analogous imagery for the state of the Russian Defence Complex.
