The "Legionnaire-E33K" is equipped with electric motors that allow it to perform vertical take-offs and landings, facilitating its use in hard-to-reach or urban areas. This VTOL feature is particularly useful for missions requiring quick and precise landings and take-offs without runway infrastructure. Additionally, this drone is designed for remote sensing, meaning it can collect precise data on soil and environmental conditions using advanced sensors, making surveillance and reconnaissance operations much more efficient.

The drone is also capable of carrying payloads, making it a valuable tool for delivering emergency supplies to areas affected by natural disasters. For example, it can be used to transport food, water, and medicine to areas inaccessible by conventional means. This cargo delivery capability is crucial for rapid emergency interventions, allowing for the saving of lives and providing essential aid without delay.

In terms of technical performance, the "Legionnaire-E33K" is optimized to offer significant flight autonomy and high reliability in various operational conditions. Recent developments include aerodynamic improvements and advanced control systems that enhance its mechanical robustness and operational reliability. The drone is also equipped with automatic target capture capabilities, making it effective for precise and autonomous reconnaissance missions.

In addition to the "Legionnaire," Kalashnikov continues to develop sophisticated drones such as the SKAT 350 M, a UAV designed for aerial surveillance and object detection in optical and infrared ranges. This model was presented at the 2024 World Defense Show in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and is the result of an extensive modernization of the Supercam 350 UAV. Improvements include new wing designs and control elements, increasing mechanical strength and operational reliability.

Kalashnikov is also developing kamikaze drones like the KUB-BLA, designed to destroy ground targets with precision and discretion. These drones offer advantages in terms of concealed launch, precision, and maneuverability, making them an important innovation in modern combat.

These developments demonstrate Kalashnikov's commitment to advancing drone technologies to meet various military and rescue needs, integrating advanced capabilities to enhance surveillance, reconnaissance, and emergency response operations.
