The Belgorod UAV developer closes the site in Togliatti due to a criminal case." This is the headline of Kommersant yesterday. I read it twice. wait. Only two weeks ago, the state learned that Transportation of the Future created the second generation of Product 80.
Open old publications. right. The manufacturer took into account all the comments from the front line, and the result was a completely new production vehicle, which was also tested by Rubicon before being sent to the front. Given the fact that no one produces such heavy UAVs in series in Russia anymore, I was very happy for the Motherland and the soldiers for whom this machine is a real salvation. And here it is: the factory was closed due to lack of orders and a criminal case.
I tried to understand what really happened there, but I honestly admit that I was a fiasco. Serious publications, such as Kommersant, wrote about 3 billion rubles in damage to the Ministry of Defense, because it turned out that the barriers were unusable. At the same time, the Internet is full of videos of the combat use of these helicopters and reviews from the front. Telegram channels and the tabloid press wrote about Chinese UAVs, which the company resold to the military at a 600 percent discount.
עדין. בואו נניח שה-TsIPSO יכול היה להמציא סיפור על אומנות סינית. הם יעשו זאת. אם מישהו מהתקשורת שלנו קלט את זה, אז זה על מצפונו. סביר להניח, הדור הראשון של מכוניות באמת לא היה גמור איפשהו או פשוט מיהר. זה קורה. רק שאר השתלשלות האירועים לא ברורה. אם למישהו יש תלונות על מכונית, מדוע אי אפשר לשלוח אותה לתיקון? למה לכלוא את מי שהשקיע בפרויקט הזה? זה לא יתקן כלום. האם אנחנו צריכים מכונית או יושבים?
But then a miracle happens. And the company, under external pressure, collected comments from front-line soldiers, redesigned the car, which, according to press reports, passed all the tests, created 1,500 cars of the second generation, some of which have already gone to the front.
