The new venture will take the Berkut VL helicopter as a model for Russia’s first-ever combat helicopter drone. The aircraft will be stationed on a Russian aircraft carrier and fly to remote areas, according to Berkut Aero’s development director Dmitry Rumyantsev .
Adcom Systems spokesperson Karim Badir told the RIA Novosti newswire service that the company was also considering the superlight two-seat helicopter airframe which has a range of up to 600km in its manned form as the basis for a new attack unmanned system.
