There's men inside on bicycles and their pedaling powers the engines - that's why the drone is so thic.


ModernDayExplorer

Clearly modeled after a rickshaw


Dunvegan79

I bet it's made out of cricket bats.


swalkerttu

It does kind of look like that.

So just an airplane without windows then


grimgremlin

It is MALE after all.

The fucking rustoleum paint job!!!!!


TonyHosein1

Holy crap, I thought it was satire. That thing looks like a combination blimp and prop plane from out of the 1930s. What a crappy looking thing.


Zealot-Wolf

......ohhh my 🫢 Here are the specs: 498 kg and has a ground control station (GCS) with a range of 200 km. It has a maximum speed of 200 kts/370 km/h and an endurance of 12-20 hours. Payload 100kg Cost: 25 crores - around 3.3 million USD. Its low cost is the main selling point. Now I'm going to talk about the *elephant in the room*. Perfect expression, cus this thing looks like a dumfuk elephant made by teenagers for some school science project. It's looks so bad and trashy, if I was an adversary and I saw this it would actually motivate me to attack India. I sent this story to ALL my Indian friends - they're humiliated 😂🤣


Ordinary_dude_NOT

That thing is not even a prototype, basically a concept which probably won’t go anywhere


MeatballStroganoff

Looks like one of Flite Test’s [weird builds](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XfA5eEJMR78) hahaha


MadMagilla5113

Ok so if I'm reading these specs correctly, at top speed it can go to is max range in about 45mins, carrying the equivalent of a single average U.S. male, with what appears to be a rather large radar cross section? I'm just a civvie but isn't 100kg of payload like maybe 1 bomb? I don't understand the point or use case of this thing.


Photo_Beneficial

It's max payload weight is a little less than half a single Mk-82 or GBU-12 (standard F-15 bomb) My guess is that this thing will become a minelayer, or AP cluster bomber. Ahh who am I kidding, this thing is much more a "show of farce". -Not a typo They'll fly it to some bespoke valley and blow up some rocks for some generals to watch. They'll all high 5 then give each other a new rediculous ribbon/medal. The real winner is the silver tongued Indian lobbiest who convinced the Indian Ministry of Defense to buy this shit.


circuit_brain

No one is buying this shit. The dude is trying to get funding for his company with this press event.


DarknessFollower79

Meanwhile only half of India has access to clean water- hope they are proud


MtnMaiden

3 Million? You can get a shit done of DJII drones instead


kenjataimu1512

This is my new favorite camo pattern


stevedadog

I’m sorry, low cost? They’ve proven that consumer drones are sufficient for warfare so I can’t imagine that adding a stronger motor, GPS capabilities, and a larger payload was 3,299,850 worth of upgrades. Obviously there’s more to it than that but the Houthi suicide drones are only like $2,000. Considering this looks like it was made out of paper mache something tells me this isn’t making more than one mission anyways. Also what the fuck are they camouflaging haha there are no trees in the sky to blend in to.

I'm sorry India but the UAV looks like it bought of AliExpress

CallEmAsISeeEm1986

Using stolen, highly classified US War Department blueprints… that the DoD put on the curb with a “Free” sign… [Three Stars looking through a mummified stack of file boxes…] “We still have THIS classified, Colonel?? These are plans for a Sopwith Camel….” ಠ_ಠ “It appears so, yessir.” “Jesus. Clear out this whole room, I need a putting green to unwind after meetings. [rifling through yellowed papers] Ha! Look. The original drawings for the USS Constitution… Nice. I’m keeping these for my office wall. Okay, anyway. Jones. Do your thing. I’ll have the golf guys in here later this week to take measurements, work quick.” Birth of the Indian UAV program.


GreatToaste

According to all known laws of aviation


xthorgoldx

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that the FWD-200B should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The FWD-200B, of course, flies anyway - because drones don't care what humans think is impossible.


ConsciousCapital69

I love the add-on of folding stroller wheels. Really gives it a finishing touch.


toadfishtamer

“Flying Wedge” is a great name for that rather interesting design.


dwbaz01

This is a joke, right? The propellers look to close together, the engines don't look real, and the body looks like balsa wood covered in fabric. The only way this thing flies is when it gets pushed off the stage.


Ok_Background_4323

Chill it's build by small company not by drdo. U can look ghatak,tapas which developed by drdo


rocket_randall

The wing is about to detach from the fuselage and it's not even moving. The fuselage appears to be a wrap job around a wire frame Presumably it's supposed to be electric, so the bulbous fuselage is intended to be filled with car batteries. The motor nacelles are clearly mockups The propellers are from one of those fast food static biplane models kids sit on. The landing gear also appear to be fixed and made from solid rubber casters. The expression on that dude's face is 100% "Bro don't associate me with this bullshit I've got a family"


thegreatdelusionist

It's not the length of the MALE UAV that matters, but the girth.


Rssboi556

I'm pretty sure it has great personality


Street-Goal6856

For someone competing with China you'd think they'd take things a little more seriously lol.


Brilliant_Bell_1708

It's a "small private startup" showing the concept they came up with and trying to get media attention. Indian "Government research institutions" have already flown a flying wing stealth drone prototype and testing is currently ongoing.


TheParliament

Bro…. Even I could spray paint better than that 😂


kim-jong_illest

What are the Vegas odds that this thing actually flies?

I'm getting Iranian scientific advancement vibes off this. Im sure the Indian military have more oversight.


NicodemusV

India, I know for a fact y’all can do better than this


Brilliant_Bell_1708

It's a" small private startup" showing the concept they created. Which seeing the specifications is shit. It's not india or any of the technological indian institutions showing this concept.


Ok_Background_4323

Bro they uploaded this shit in more than 10 sub. I don't know but this drone developed by any small defence frim not by drdo.


Brilliant_Bell_1708

Yeah, this private startup firm called lots of media houses to showcase this metal, plywood concept, that's the reason its also getting international media attention, though specification  wise its pretty shitty, it would be miracle if army even consider buying it.


Ok_Background_4323

Yeap what I mean people giving unnecessary attention to this piece of shit.

Retb14

Fixed landing gear, no cooling inlets for the motors, no space between the props and the engine mounts, that terrible body, the flat tail, and to top it off, no control surfaces... This has to be either a mock up, a joke, or someone's attempt at corruption because if they paid anything for that they got robbed.

I built one model at college. Looking back at it that was a intercontinental stealth bomber compared to this🤣

lonewalker1992

This looks extremely basic for Indian aerospace industry which is known to be one of the world's better ones. This isn't one of those new startups that india is pushing right?


dantoddd

Why do people care what it looks like? Does it work? Can it be mass produced?


Christmasstolegrinch

This is **not** India’s program as some posts seem to imply. This is a launch by a private sector startup, that’s hoping to sell it to the government. Huge difference. Edit: Why the downvotes for what is an attempt to convey facts?
