The light drone "Dandelion" in modifications with coaxial and quadrocopter propellers was presented for the first time at the exhibition-forum "Army-2022". According to Ruslan Lyapin, deputy general director for development of the Atri research and production company, the coaxial modification of the drone is immune to precipitation and can be used in conditions of strong wind gusts.

“This [drone developed] as part of the import substitution of Chinese drones of the Mavic series. Quadrocopter execution and coaxial execution. Designed for monitoring land and sea surfaces, identifying objects. You can use it with your hands, you can use guides with a squib. From under the trees," he said.

The drone rises to a height of up to 3,000 meters, the flight radius is limited to 5,000 meters, and the flight time is 40-45 minutes. According to a company representative, the UAV payload is up to 2 kg, for example, radio intelligence modules can act as it.

“There is no such line of small UAVs in the domestic version. A coaxial drone is less prone to precipitation. It can work during precipitation, unlike this [quadcopter type], and with strong gusts of wind. That is, this model is sustainable,” Lyapin said.
