Russia’s Kalashniov weapons manufacturer has unveiled a “flying car” design whose practical application it plans to unveil soon.
Footage of the flight demonstration published on Monday depicts a single-seat steel frame flanked by eight tandem rotors. The 30-second video shows a pilot taking off, turning around and landing the “flying car.”
Kalashnikov’s director of communications Sophia Ivanova told the state-run RIA Novosti news agency that the concept is undergoing tests.
“We will soon demonstrate the practical application of this device,” Ivanova said on Tuesday.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
