Armament
Internal Weapon Bay
It has internal weapon bays and a single centerline pylon for external munition. It was created as a strike UAV or “uninhabited air combat vehicle (UCAS).” It has nose fairings and an antenna dome for contemporary sensors and electronic equipment. It has a bigger inlet, which could indicate turbofan propulsion.
Armament
The Tu-300 can be equipped with high-explosive and cumulative-fragmentation bombs as percussive weapons.
Note
At various exhibitions and air show UAV was demonstrated with the presence of a suspended container of small-sized cargo (KMGU). Due to this, the unmanned Tu-300 can be armed with percussive weapons in the form of cumulative-fragmentation and high-explosive bombs. A wide range of unmanaged and controlled air ammunition is capable of being deployed on an air vehicle due to the used holder BDZ-U.
