Russia�s New ZALA T-20

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The ZALA T-20 unmanned aircraft system underwent a comprehensive modernisation, during which a number of design and technological
improvements were implemented to improve its flight performance and expand its operational capabilities.A key change was the optimisation of
the fuselage design, which reduced aerodynamic drag and improved overall flight efficiency
The installation of new-generation batteries with increased specific energy capacity and resistance to extreme operating conditions allowed
for an increase in flight duration and range, which now exceeds 7 hours and 500 kilometres per flight.The new communication and navigation
modules ensured stable operation as well as stable and secure data transmission over long distances, even in difficult interference and
satellite-free environments.The upgraded BAS received a specialised new on-board computer and improved software based on artificial
intelligence algorithms.The ZALA T-20 TAC operates with the full list of ZALA T-16 TAC target payloads and is launched from the same
pneumatic launcher
This allows the use of a single set of equipment for different platforms, simplifying logistics, maintenance and operator training, as well
as retrofitting existing complexes with a new type of T-20 ballistic missile.The modernisation of the ZALA T-20 has enhanced its flight and
operational characteristics and significantly expanded the range of missions in the field of aerial reconnaissance, monitoring and
situational analysis in complex and remote areas.Source: Zala Posted in News on June 12, 2025 by The Editor. Leave a comment
