ADCOM Systems United 40

Thanks Stéphane, this reminded me, that on last years ILA in Berlin, I took a number of photos at
the Adcom stand in one of the chalets, although most producst were shown as wall charts only.
First the MALE United 40 with a quite distictive shape:

Great find my dears Jemiba and Stargazer.

 

[Stargazer2006]

As I was going through the few "goodies" (brochures, leaflets and such) collected at Le Bourget, I came across a nice folder full of Adcom spec sheets...

Here is the YABHON-GRN 1 and YABHON-GRN 2 :

Here is the YABHON-HMD and the YABHON-N:

Here is the YABHON-NSR, photographs of which I shared earlier in this topic:

 

[Stargazer2006]

Here is the YABHON-R and its speculative YABHON-R 2 derivative (wonder if Burt Rutan gets any percentage... lol):

And last but not least, the YABHON-UNITED 40 - Block 5:

 

[Stargazer2006]

Here is a PDF file about the Iranian Sahi UAV (actually more of a man-launched Mini-UAS):
http://mohammad-rezaie.persiangig.com/Conceptual%20Design.pdf

Should it remain in this thread? Or be moved to the "Theoretical" section? It appears to be a student project as it emanates from the Amirkabir University of Technology (Teheran Polytechnic).

That Iranian Sahi UAV, looks like little more than a rather poor facsimile of the Israeli 'Skylark' platform. Doubtless also lacking the high quality systems that make a UAV into a UAS (note the 'S', denoting 'system')...

Have you only so much as looked into the PDF file? If you did you'd see that the reference to the Skylark is there, along with photos...

 

[hesham]

Wow,great find Stargazer.

To note, YABHON-R, RX- and -GRN series, SMART EYE, UNITED-40 were designed by Kharkov Aviation Institute team on R&D contract with ADCOM Systems

Errr...how does a Monoco based company fall into the Middle East and thus part of this thread?

BTW, here is a link to their website: http://www.eyo-copter.com

Ack, blunder alert! Thanks for the heads up.

Ship-Launched Version Of The Israeli Harop Suicide Drone Will Be Sailing With An Asian Navy

The Harop loitering munition was a star of Azerbaijan's victory over Armenia on land last year, but it can pose an equally wily threat at sea.

From what I understand, the Iraqis worked on turning L-39s and Mig-21s into drones, ostensibly for use as chemical weapons dispensers. Can anyone provide more info on this?

 

[dan_inbox]

Yes L-29 were supposed to attack Israel with chemicals during ODS.
Like many threats from Saddam Hussein and his crew, nothing much materialized.
