The MiS-35 drone is designed in the form of a hexacopter, which consists of six propeller units.

A new, multi-rotor type, unmanned aerial vehicle comes equipped with a revolutionary system that enables it to return to its launching point even in situations where communication with the operator is completely lost due to electronic warfare systems.

It functions on the principles of inertial navigation without the use of GPS. The ‘Podvodyr’ system takes the drone out of EW range until the operator re-establishes communication,” the design bureau said.

So... What my consumer Chinese drone has done since it came out 10 years ago?

I imagine these drones didn't have return home for a reason. You don't want the enemy to start jamming and following the drones home.

I think AI used in UAVs is getting a huge boost now because of Ukraine and Gaza war, they can already ignore jamming and do other things due to nanotech, from what I'm reading. But I'm no expert of course, it's just something good to know.
