For the first time, Russia is set to display its Supercam S350 scout drone at the two-day Southeast Asia at Vietnam Defense Expo 2024, to be held on Thursday and Friday in Hanoi.
Resistant to bad climatic conditions, including high humidity and temperatures (up to plus 45 degrees), Supercam S350 drone has already been battle-tested in Syria and Ukraine, according to news agency TASS.
Integrated with decision-making systems and fire controls, which increases their combat engagement effectiveness, these drones aid the reconnaissance units and infantry, can accompany assault groups, transmit target coordinates, and adjust artillery and multiple rocket fire.
Equipped with electronic warfare protection that makes them capable of operating in jamming conditions, these drones fly silently at an altitude of two kilometers, making them tough to detect.

The operators of the drone stay dozens of kilometers from the frontline, detect targets and determine coordinates of ammunition depots, manpower and armor accumulation.
Unmanned Systems Group, the makers of the drone, said, "The drone can fulfil the same missions in all countries of Southeast Asia, with which Russia cooperates in the military and economic fields."
"Supercam S350 can serve Vietnamese partners in the defense and civilian spheres for the protection of state borders, patrols in the South China Sea, public and fire security, monitoring of oil and gas infrastructure," the company further said.
The drone does not need a runway and additional infrastructure, which is important for Vietnamese mountains and forests.
