A new Russian UAV is designed with an air cushion that enables operation from rough surfaces. The drone called 'Chirok' (Teal) will be able to operate from uneven surfaces, scattered with stones and obstacles (up to 20cm high), as well as soft sand, high grass, snow-covered or wetland terrain, as well as water surfaces.
