"Everyone knows about the 18-gram Black Hornet UAV that all units of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) have. We have created a super-small UAV called Vector-75," said a representative of the Experimental Design Bureau.

According to the developer of the device, the weight of this UAV is 21 grams, and when the device is in a state intended for combat operations, it weighs 32 grams. The flight time of the Vector-75 is from 4 to 7 minutes, depending on the type of payload.

"We believe that in the future our device could replace the Black Hornet, as low cost is a decisive factor in its production. Devices intended for such purposes are largely disposable," the designers said.

They also said that the noise from this tiny UAV is practically inaudible to the human ear at a distance of more than 15 meters. It can also transmit images in real time to the operator's control panel or special video glasses.

And the most important point, users will not regret losing it because the outstanding feature of the device is its very cheap price.
