“RIA Novosti”: in Russia created a transport drone TRAMP

In Russia, they created a transport drone of the aircraft type TRAMP (transport aviation multifunctional platform), reported “RIA News” with reference to a source in the military-industrial complex. According to him, TRAMP can transfer cargo weighing up to 250 kilograms over a distance of more than 600 kilometers.

“The transport aviation multifunctional platform, or simply TRAMP, is an aircraft-type drone of a classic layout. It is intended for the delivery and landing of cargo weighing up to 250 kilograms at a distance of more than 600 kilometers, as well as performing tasks dangerous for manned aircraft in adverse weather conditions at minimal cost, ”the source said.

According to him, the drone can take off and land on poorly prepared sites. Also, thanks to the large cargo compartment, it is possible to load bulky cargo into it and drop it with a parachute without landing.

For civilian purposes, the drone can be used to monitor large areas. It can be used in agriculture after the installation of fertilizer sprayers in the cargo compartment; radar, optical, cartographic and other special equipment can also be installed there, the RIA Novosti source added.
