United instrument Corporation (OPK), which is part of rostec, was first shown secret photos of Russian reconnaissance and strike drone hovercraft. "Teal" presented to the public in anticipation of the international air show MAKS-2015.

You can not fear to assert, that in the Russian Federation created the original drone hovercraft, completely silent and invisible to enemy radar. The drone, dubbed "Teal", has no analogues in the world. The new device can be applied not only unmanned, but in manned mode. For example, he will be able to carry people on the planet in remote areas.

It tells the Department of public relations of the defense industry, "Teal" developed by the Moscow research radio engineering Institute. "According to the calculations of designers, the required length of runway distances will not exceed 100 meters in areas with pliable viscous soils, where allowed irregularities and the presence of wetland (water) areas", - is told in the company statement.

Drone "Chirok" is intended for monitoring the ground or water surface, and the transport of various target loads. As expected, the military will be able to use the drone for reconnaissance and as a combat aircraft. "Teal" is able to rise to a height of 6 thousand meters, has a range of up to 2.5 thousand km Limit takeoff weight of 700 kg, the maximum desired load weight up to 300 kg.

As promised the developers, after modifications drone will be able to carry bombs, missiles and precision-guided projectiles. Also, the detection of the drone "Chirok" in radar range of the spectrum is difficult, because the body is made of lightweight composite materials. "Besides all this, the flight of the drone is virtually silent in consequence quiet piston engines with variable-pitch propellers," said into the MIC.
