Nice line drawing. What about it?

of it. I found the drawing while looking for something else and thought
I'd post it after all this is rec.aviation.military.
Maybe someone knows more or can furnish a photo? But if not at least
you know what it looks like now.

p.s. Dan, do you have to reply to everything I post? It's getting
annoying. Go bother someone else. You complain about my German postings
but when I do post on any other aircraft or weapons you STILL make some
form of complaint. Have you ever considered the fact that there might
be lurkers here or just curious aviation fans that don't know about
most of the topics we discuss here? Maybe someone got something out of
the drawing, maybe not... but I posted it like I always post whatever I
find here or there. I was the first here to post the MOAB photos and a
variety of virtually unknown aircraft from Germany and the world over
the last 6 years. So give me a break!

Maybe because it never progressed beyond a drawing? How many thousand other
concepts never progressed beyond the desktop?

Don't be so sensitive. You posted a line drawing. You made no comments, you
asked no questions. I only asked why.

I have the 5.2000 issue of the English-language Russian magazine, Air Fleet.
It has a short 6-page article on Russian Unmanned Aerial Vehicles by
Alexander Ponomaryov.
There are no pics or drawings for the R-90, but the text says.......
"In addition ENICS developed the R90 UAV, a small-size reconnaissance
drone. It is designed to perform recce missions and collect info on
effects of multiple launch rocket system attacks for ensuing BDA.
The R-90 features foldable wings, two fins and a pulse-jet engine. Once
launched, the R-90's wings and tailfins are deployed and engine is
started. Its flight is pre-programmed, with an endurance of 30 mins.
The nose-mounted TV camera range for real time imagery downlink is 70km.
The R-90 made its maiden flight in 1990 and passed all tests with success".
That's all there is - but the next edition in the 'Red Stars' series is
slated to be about Russian UAV's - so there may be more info in there ??
