Russian arms manufacturer Kalashnikov has said its Skat-350M unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is suitable for missions over the Caspian Sea, according to TASS.
The company said the drone is distinguished by its high wind resistance, a characteristic it presented as advantageous for operating in the Caspian Sea environment, though TASS's report did not elaborate on the specific wind conditions the UAV is designed to withstand or provide further technical specifications.
Limited technical detail
TASS's report did not specify the Skat-350M's intended mission types, payload capacity, range or the branch of Russia's armed forces, if any, expected to operate it. Kalashnikov is one of Russia's best-known defense manufacturers, historically associated with small arms but increasingly promoting unmanned systems as part of its broader product line.
The Caspian Sea borders Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Iran and Azerbaijan, and has been an area of periodic military and strategic interest among the bordering states.
No further details about testing, deployment timelines or cost were included in the cited report.
