A drone for operating in Arctic conditions has been developed in Russia.
Unlike conventional drones powered by electric batteries or diesel fuel, this UAV uses a hydrogen element as an energy source, as the most optimally suitable for the Arctic.
The parameters of the new drone are not disclosed, but it is noted that its autonomy is greater than that of "simple" drones. Also, the use of hydrogen fuel cells increases the performance of the drone by five times compared to a conventional battery at a low temperature.
The drone is planned to be used to protect pipelines in the North, but it is possible to use it in combat, topwar.ru reports.
