Unmanned helicopters of the Technodinamika holding, which have no analogues in Russia, were used for the first time to simulate an air raid of a simulated enemy during the Russian-Serbian exercises Slavic Shield-2021. The drones served as targets for the Pantsir-S anti-aircraft missile and gun systems.
The use of air targets - helicopter simulators in the exercises“Slavic Shield-2021”performed, in fact, two tasks. On the one hand, VM-V allowed the participants in the exercises to work out practical actions to detect and eliminate a simulated air enemy, on the other hand, the functionality and tactical and technical characteristics of the unmanned aerial vehicle were tested in the mountainous terrain where the exercises took place (Picture source: Russian MoD)
Aerial target - helicopter simulator (VM-V) is part of a complex with unmanned aerial vehicles - a simulator of air targets, developed and created at TsNTU Dinamika. An unmanned helicopter is capable of staying in the air for at least 2 hours, reaching a maximum altitude of 2.5 km. The maximum range of its radio communication is 100 km. VM-V is intended for use as a target - a target simulator when creating a target environment using target equipment during testing. The first batch of multifunctional unmanned aerial complexes of the helicopter type was transferred to the Armed Forces of the Aerospace Forces at the end of 2020.

The specialists of TsNTU Dinamika have collected valuable material on the flights of an unmanned helicopter from a high-altitude airfield, which will definitely be used in further work, "said Igor Nasenkov, General Director of the Tekhnodinamika holding.
The joint exercises took place on the territory of the Serbian Batajnica airbase in the suburbs of Belgrade. They were attended by units of the Russian Aerospace Forces, the Air Force and the Air Defense Forces of Serbia. As part of the exercises, a Russian-Serbian mixed air defense group was on alert for the air defense of Belgrade, the Batainitsa airbase and the central industrial region of Serbia. The subunits of the joint air defense grouping in a difficult jamming environment successfully repelled a massive air strike of a simulated enemy, destroying all air targets with training launches of anti-aircraft missile systems.
