Bulgarian Innovation: Kamikaze Drone Redefines Aerial Warfare Dynamics

In a showcase of innovation and prowess, Bulgaria unveiled two remarkable additions to its defense arsenal at the 16th Specialized International Exhibition of Defense Equipment and Services, known as “Hemus.”

The star attractions: the formidable “Samjet” kamikaze drone by Samokov-based company “Samuel 90” and the groundbreaking armored laptop, a brainchild of Panasonic.

Samjet: A New Era of Aerial Warfare

The Samjet drone, showcased by Samuel 90, represents a paradigm shift in unmanned aerial warfare.

Compact yet potent, it boasts an array of features that set it apart from conventional drones. What truly distinguishes Samjet is its ease of use; requiring no assembly, it stands as a testament to simplicity and efficiency in combat operations.

Equipped with rocket engines, Samjet achieves staggering speeds in the air, reaching up to 250 km/h. This velocity, coupled with its agility, makes it a formidable force on the battlefield.

Operated via a user-friendly ground station, operators can track its position in real-time on a digital map display.

The drone’s dual-camera system provides comprehensive visual reconnaissance capabilities, with one camera dedicated to target identification and the other for precise targeting during an attack.

However, it’s not just its speed and agility that make Samjet a force to be reckoned with. Laden with up to 2 kilograms of thermobaric charge or the notorious “vacuum bomb,” it packs a devastating punch.

With a flight time ranging from 60 to 120 minutes, it ensures sustained engagement capabilities, further enhancing its utility in various operational scenarios.

TOUGHBOOK 40: Fortifying Defense Infrastructure

Panasonic’s TOUGHBOOK 40 armored laptop stands as a testament to cutting-edge technology tailored for defense applications.

A pioneer in robust computing solutions, TOUGHBOOK 40 is the world’s first rugged laptop engineered exclusively for the defense sector.

Boasting a self-encrypted hard drive and state-of-the-art data protection mechanisms, TOUGHBOOK 40 ensures the utmost security for classified information, earning certification for use by NATO.

Its versatility knows no bounds, catering to a spectrum of defense operations, from foot patrols to vehicle diagnostics and maintenance.

One of its standout features is the “hidden mode,” a single-touch activation that instantly cloaks the laptop from electronic detection and illuminative visibility, a crucial asset for covert operations and clandestine missions.

A Game-Changer for National Security

The debut of Samjet and TOUGHBOOK 40 marks a significant stride forward for Bulgaria’s defense capabilities.

In an era characterized by evolving threats and complex security challenges, these cutting-edge technologies promise to bolster national security and enhance operational effectiveness for the Bulgarian Armed Forces and security agencies.

As the global landscape continues to evolve, with adversaries harnessing increasingly sophisticated means to threaten peace and stability, Bulgaria’s commitment to innovation underscores its resolve to safeguard its sovereignty and protect its citizens.

Looking Ahead

As Hemus draws to a close, the reverberations of Bulgaria’s technological prowess will continue to resonate across the defense industry.

With Samjet and TOUGHBOOK 40 poised to redefine the contours of modern warfare, Bulgaria stands at the vanguard of innovation, poised to navigate the complexities of an ever-changing security landscape with confidence and resilience.
