The picture shows the Greek KERVEROS drone. In recent years, in armed conflicts in hotspot areas, unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with anti tank ammunition have repeatedly demonstrated the value of this combat method in the field of anti armor targets through their successful hunting and killing of armored vehicles. Based on the emphasis on the power and potential of drones, countries have joined the research and development ranks. Greece's KERVEROS drone is one of them. Compared to the patrol missiles and fixed wing reconnaissance drones that frequently appear on the battlefield, the KERVEROS drone is more like a product of adding an eight rotor drone to an AKERON MP anti tank missile. Similarly, the "Jackal" attack UAV jointly developed by the UK and Türkiye, and the test product of Russia using Perun-F UAV to carry the "Bassoon" anti tank missile. Compared with other similar equipment, a major feature of the KERVEROS drone is its small size. The all electric version of KERVEROS drone only occupies an area of 5.5 square meters when preparing for flight, and after folding the wing beams and fins, it occupies less than 1 square meter, which is almost the same as the civilian professional multi axis drone. The smaller size not only allows the KERVEROS drone to have good concealment when conducting aerial reconnaissance and strike missions, but also has the ability to be easily carried and able to take off and land in small areas. It is said that the KERVEROS drone can be directly carried by a single soldier, and two soldiers can take off and land at any time through handheld devices or vehicle mounted terminals. In the design of KERVEROS unmanned aerial vehicles, the manufacturer Altus LSA company uses modular design to enable the aircraft to quickly switch between multiple application modes. With a payload of 50 kilograms, it is capable of carrying multiple mission modules. In addition to carrying AKERON MP anti tank missiles, it can also be used as an emergency transport aircraft to deliver combat supplies, or for battlefield situation monitoring and intelligence collection through the installation of reconnaissance equipment. In addition to publicly showcasing the electric version of the KERVEROS drone, Altus LSA has also released relevant data for the hybrid version. The hybrid version of KERVEROS drone has a takeoff weight of 150 kilograms, no less than 3 hours of hovering time, and a flight distance of 100 kilometers. Compared with the electric version, it has a larger takeoff weight and can fly further and longer. Compared to anti tank missiles launched from ground equipment, the KERVEROS drone that strikes from the air can provide operators with a wider field of view and better shooting angles. Simultaneously remotely operating drones to complete strikes also makes the operator's situation relatively safe, allowing them to focus on hunting enemy armored targets. Overall, the KERVEROS drone, as a still under development drone, has many impressive advantages. However, the defensive side in this "armor shell confrontation" - tanks are also constantly evolving. In addition to passive defense methods such as installing anti drone grilles and reactive armor, some tanks have also begun to install active strike methods such as electronic countermeasures and laser anti drone weapons. The anti drone capabilities of main battle tanks are increasing. In this situation, the future combat effectiveness of the "drone+anti tank missile" mode adopted by KERVEROS drones remains to be tested on the battlefield. (New Society)
