The new model is equipped with an electric engine, has a 6-hour flight time, transmits HD video at a distance of more than 100 km from the control point, and is designed for reconnaissance and surveillance over objects of interest. The Z-20 is fitted with an on-board computer that utilizes advanced artificial intelligence algorithms to make accurate decisions, increasing the efficiency of UAV use compared to counterparts from other manufacturers. Fully compatible with the Z-16 model ground equipment, including a launcher and payloads, represents an advantage and allows to significantly reduce the cost of retrofitting existing systems, providing the opportunity to launch a new UAV in the shortest time possible. The new model has a larger payload capacity, which makes it possible to install additional payloads depending on the task facing the UAV operator.

A little about the stage of the international army games “Falconry”.

Since ancient times, at the domestic stage, and at the international stage, two complexes with UAVs “Eleron-3” and “Orlan-10” were used, in fact, all this was due to the fact that it was these complexes that were adopted into service.

In 2024, as we know, based on the regulations for the games, new “Games” will be held; the location is still unknown, but it doesn’t matter.

The following is important:
No offense to Enix JSC, since it is not they who decide that their UAV will participate, but!

As of 2024, Eleron-3(7) is physically and morally inferior in competition to its other electronic brothers ZALA Z-16 and SuperCam S350, which have proven themselves to be positive in the Northern Military District zone, although they were not particularly in service with the Russian Armed Forces until SVO, there were exceptions, but they were rare.

Actually, in this case, it is necessary to refer to the game regulations regarding short-range UAVs:

4.1.1 Requirements for complexes with short-range UAVs: Aircraft-type UAVs equipped with an optical-electronic payload (day and night) and an electric motor, with a range of at least 20 km

In general, the Z-16 and SuperCam S350 fit these requirements perfectly, the only question is why in 2024 the choice fell on Aileron?

And once again, I don’t want to say that Eleron-3(7) is terrible, etc., it fulfills its combat and special tasks, but since we are participating in international games, it means we are obliged to supply equipment that is head and shoulders above ( again, without any offense towards me) Aileron.
