According to media reports, a week ago an unidentified person was spotted over Ulyanovsk drone, presumably military. Ministry according to various sources, the fact of flight denies or does not comments, the aircraft industry is also not reporting anything meaningful. The incident occurred, as follows from the publication newspapers Kommersant, a week ago, February 17. Witnesses flight of an unidentified drone steel pilots of a pair of aircraft of Ulyanovsk DOSAAF flying club. The object arose on the left bank of the Volga above the village Arkhangelsk, opposite Ulyanovsk. 
A photo from open sources The drone, according to pilots, was rather big: the size of their own cars (Czech L-29 “Dolphin”), the weight is estimated at three tons. Altitude 2100 km, speed 500 km / h The object dangerously close to the aircraft, they changed course and parted with him. Estimated drone dropped to 500 meters and moved further southwest towards Penza, disappearing from the screens radars. The incident caused an explosion of civil discontent aviators. “It’s not normal when such a fool is unknown stuffed, sweeps at such a speed over almost a millionth city in the flight zone of Ulyanovsk airport, where at this time on landing planes also came in “, – quotes Kommersant Head of the Ulyanovsk flying club DOSAAF Vladimir Dvoryaninov. What UFO Looks Like The Most Descriptive Question apparatus with the words of observers: “with shortened wings,” “similar to flying rocket. “None of those being developed in Russia and shown to the public in one way or another large military drones do not fit this description: modern UAVs This size usually has developed wings of large proportions, which are striking and do not allow to describe the device as a “rocket”. He does not look like a “flying wing”: even if the “MiG” drone “Skat” already knew how to fly, extremely confuse it with a rocket difficult, like American cars of a similar layout. But this description is very similar to jet drones Soviet-designed – say, on the Tu-143 / Tu-243 complex “Flight” (Flight D). Or to target complexes based on them. Let’s say the Tu-243 has a length of more than 8 meters, which, taking into account observation errors It is quite comparable with the nearly 11-meter length of the L-29. Tu-141 “Swift” is even larger, with the preservation of the rocket “exterior”. IN in any case, this is nothing more than speculation, general considerations. Military the fact of any flight in this area is denied tightly, industry is silent. This is all the more interesting since the question, judging by the way it was presented in the press, only interested civil aviators. Moreover, according to the same Kommersant, FSB, whose interest can be understood only in the context of the complex events called “protecting state secrets.”
