Picture of a russian drone that launches hand grenades from a weapon bay. Was already tested. Can someone post the image here ?

"Grenade!!!!!!!!"
Others do the same thing. So a small drone to drop on units gathered, isn't that bad of an idea. But I don't see much need for it.
I can see comments are just retarded people, not knowing that all these drones are from different companies.

This drone is like a RPK dispenser than can land and be re-loaded.

That would be the KGMU-2 pod... looks like a cluster bomb but is not dropped... it releases its cluster munitions but stays attached to the aircraft and gets reloaded and reused... you just fill it up with the submunitions you want and you are ready to go.
I seem to remember the Tornado having two optional systems that were similar... one fired munitions out sideways and the other launched them straight down...
MOSCOW, February 4 - RIA News . RIA Novosti has at its disposal an image of a model of the first in Russia reusable aircraft designed for flying in the atmosphere and space at hypersonic speeds.
The photo shows a single-engine UAV, which is a prototype of a promising reusable aircraft. The second image, also available to RIA Novosti, shows the scheme of launching this unit into orbit and its return to earth using parachutes.
Earlier in the Skolkovo Foundation, RIA Novosti reported that the reusable flight demonstrator developed by ISON in the interests of Roskosmos is equipped with its own propulsion system to disperse to the required speeds and uses an aircraft carrier at the initial stage of flight. This makes it reusable and makes it possible to repeat the tests and improve the quality of preliminary flight testing.
According to the agency, General Director of JSC "ISON" Yuri Bakhvalov, for the production of this aircraft will be used only serial components manufactured in Russia, and the engine will receive a UAV from the upper stage "Briz-M" - 14D30. The interviewee said that the use of the device for percussion purposes is not planned. And answering the question of whether this UAV will be offered for export, he noted that "today experiments are planned in the interests of foreign customers."
"In 2023, it is planned to conduct five flight tests of a prototype using an aircraft carrier, which will be M-55 Geofizika," said Bakhvalov, speaking about the timing of this project.It is assumed that the device will be able to fly at altitudes of up to 160 kilometers at speeds of 7 max or bring the spacecraft into orbit up to 500 kilometers. Each such hypersonic device is designed for at least 50 flights.
At the development stage from 2015 to 2017, the project attracted 25 million rubles from a private investor of the Project Technika Corporation, and received a grant from the Skolkovo Foundation in the amount of 30 million rubles. At the moment, there is an active preparation for the implementation of the second stage of work, the cost of which will be 280 million rubles. In addition to the grant from the Skolkovo Foundation, which may amount to 120 million rubles, the company plans to attract co-investors in the amount of 160 million rubles. Currently, there is a private co-investor with a financing volume of 80 million rubles.
In the framework of the project, in 2017–2018 a program of aerodynamic tests was developed, an aerodynamic model was made, which was tested in wind tunnels at speeds of up to 4 max. In addition to the Roscosmos license, an international quality management system certificate was received for the development and creation of rocket and space technology.
It is assumed that during the implementation of the second stage of testing (2019-2021), technical documentation for the aircraft, ground complex and mock-ups for testing will be developed, production prepared, a layout made and dynamic tests carried out. The third stage (2021-2023) will include the manufacture of mock-ups and testing with them, the preparation of the flight base and the carrier aircraft, the manufacture of a standard aircraft and the conduct of five flight tests using the carrier aircraft.
Corporation "Project Engineering" is engaged in the production of specialized mobile equipment and electrical engineering. The products of the corporation are represented in 21 countries of the world as independent products and complexes, or as part of air defense and electronic warfare complexes. For certain types of initiative-developed products, the corporation is the only supplier of the Russian Ministry of Defense.

Big headache for US air defense. They will be now also on receiving end of such swarm of kamikaze drones.

In the framework of the International Exhibition of Arms and Military Equipment “IDEX-2019” in Abu Dhabi, the Kalashnikov Concern (included in Rostec) presented a new intelligent weapon - the high-precision attack unmanned aerial system “KUB-BLA”.
Unmanned vehicle complexes of guided munitions are currently one of the most promising areas in the development of unmanned aircraft systems. "KUB-BLA" is designed to destroy remote ground targets. An unmanned aerial vehicle delivers a special load on the coordinates of the target, which are set manually or in the image from the target load of guidance.
“This complex is a step towards a completely new combat operations. We confidently keep in the forefront among the countries-producers of such weapons, ”said Sergey Chemezov, Rostec CEO. “High-precision unmanned projectile flies up to 30 minutes at a speed of 130 km per hour. The charge on this complex is delivered to the target, regardless of its secrecy and terrain, both small and at high altitudes. This is a very accurate and most effective weapon that is very difficult to fight with using traditional air defense systems. ”
The advantages of the complex are hidden launch, high accuracy of the shot, noiselessness and ease of handling. The speed range is 80-130 km / h., The flight duration is 30 minutes, the payload mass is 3 kg., Dimensions are 1210 * 950 * 165 mm. Impact drone complex has been successfully tested and is ready for use.

Kamikaze drones are nothing new.
ATGM, AA missiles, SAM missiles, cruise missiles,... are kamikaze drones literally.
The more suitable item in the battlefield should be a scouting drone which is able to replace the human scout team to instruct and guide the artillery and missiles.
A drone which are able to operate autonomously, with the scouting ability, with this and that sensors and cameras... are too much valuable to be a used only one time... except it is design to destroy a vital target which can decisively decide the outcome of the battle.

Not very impressive considering that the Israeli equivalent can go at something like 185 km/h and has an endurance of up to 6 hours
flamming_python wrote:A drone is much smaller, and much quieter, with a lower radar signature. They also have endurance, like an aircraft. It can sneak in, identify targets, and then you can choose yourself who to attack, from what angle and precisely when (for co-ordination with other drones)
GarryB wrote:Certainly it is up to the crew to decide whether to send a drone in or to pop up over the hill and have a look themselves... but a lot of enemy activity could make it a suicide mission anyway so sending in a suicide drone lets you sit back and mark detected targets on a map from a high altitude drone or even satellite scanning for radar emissions and small arms fire etc etc... lots of data could be collected as to the enemy force strength and location without risking an expensive attack helo.

30 minutes is not long enough to be useful in any type of Air Force operation. This is something that would be useful for the motor-rifles, engineer battallions, etc... assuming that it can be launched from the ground without any complicated equipment and operated from something like a laptop. Would be good for reducing bunkers, fortifications, garrisoned buildings, AT guns, etc...
