South African Drones/RPV's/UAV's - Prototypes, projects, concepts etc.

That’s a huge drone, and I wonder what the power plant will be.

Jet engine or large turboprop is my guess

Yeah, that is going to be a big consideration at that weight (fighter aircraft weight), especially since it also needs to be ITAR free...

Hi all

Do you mind if I share information and photos on my FB Page about SADF military war machines and border war photos and history, mainly from the border war.

Thank you
Go well

On the aerial front, SADG offers a combat drone for tasks such as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR); precision strike; force protection; and special operations. At the Africa Aerospace and Defence 2024 exhibition it was displayed with multiple 40 mm grenades. Zondi said not just weapons can be fitted to the multirotor UAV, which can also be used for non-military applications. It has a payload of 30 kg and a range of 20 km.
