A new attack unmanned aerial vehicle can be created on the basis of the Russian SR-10 light jet trainer aircraft. He received the name AR-10 "Argument".


Judging by the published images, this UAV looks a lot like the original aircraft, it has the same characteristic external difference from most other modern aircraft - the wings are swept back.

AR-10 will have an intra-fuselage compartment, which can accommodate various samples of modern high-precision weapons.

It is noted that the maximum length of the drone will be 9.7 meters, the wingspan is 8.4 meters, and the height is 5.4 meters.

Maximum takeoff weight - 3850 kg, landing weight - 2430 kg, equipment weight - 680 kg.

The maximum speed at an altitude of 6 km will reach 910 km / h, cruising speed - 800 km / h. The service ceiling is 11,500 meters.

The declared range with outboard fuel tanks is 2100 km. The maximum range is 950 km. The flight duration is 6 hours.

Let us recall that the CP-10 aircraft made its first flight in 2015 and is highly appreciated by aviation specialists.

Several types of military UAVs are currently being created in Russia, for example, Orion is known, the export version of which was demonstrated at the IDEX 2021 exhibition in Abu Dhabi. The tests of the Okhotnik strike drones are also underway.
