Developers from Nizhny Novgorod presented the drone "Tourist".
26 November 2025 15:50 Society Developers from a Nizhny Novgorod design bureau, with the support of the Kulibin Club of the People’s Front, presented the "Tourist" quadcopter-type unmanned aerial vehicle. The drone has been tested and is being supplied to the zone of the special military operation. The design bureau’s work is organized in accordance with the goals and objectives of the national project "Unmanned Aviation Systems."
“We produce the unmanned aerial vehicle 'Tourist,' which is used in the SVO zone. This drone can be used both in kamikaze mode and in reconnaissance mode. For kamikaze use we specifically modified and made a mounting platform for a munition according to the requests of the fighters. 'Tourist' was tested by us together with a servicemember. It is designed for a maximum weight of up to 5 kg, with a flight range of 12 km,” said Alexander, a representative of the manufacturing company.
According to him, over the past year the company delivered about 1,200 quadcopters to Russian military units, and another 400 units are planned for shipment.
“We communicate with the fighters, receive positive feedback and videos that demonstrate the results of successful target strikes,” Alexander added.
In addition, developers from Nizhny Novgorod have created their own device to counter the enemy’s electronic warfare systems. The compact module can be mounted on any drone and enables operation under jamming conditions.
The Kulibin Club of the People’s Front is engaged in selecting, testing, and supporting the serial production of the best developments by domestic engineers. Thanks to this initiative, it has been possible to supply thousands of innovative electronic warfare tools for countering enemy drones, quadcopters, self-propelled robot trolleys, and other products to the front.
Recall that since 2025, on the instructions of President Vladimir Putin, the national project "Unmanned Aviation Systems" has been in effect in Russia, within the framework of which the development, standardization, and serial production of UAS and their components are being carried out. In addition, a base is being formed for the production of next-generation drones, and a system for the continuous training of specialists in this field is being created.
In the Nizhny Novgorod region, under the national project, a specialized research and production testing and competence center for the development of the UAS industry has been established. A network of such centers will be created in various regions of the country. An experimental legal regime for drone flights has been introduced in the Nizhny Novgorod region.

November 26, 2025, 16:54 Sport NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" — Polina Zubova
On the morning of November 26 the Nagorny Sports and Entertainment Complex filled with Torpedo fans who had come to an open practice of their favorite team. During a week-long break between games in their home stretch, the club decided to please supporters and give them a chance to see behind the scenes of the training process.
Although it was a weekday, the stands were far from empty. Some even skipped school to watch their favorite players.
The first on the ice were goaltenders Denis Kostin and Ivan Kulbakov, accompanied by goalie coach Nikolai Khabibullin. A little later the skaters joined them.
The practice lasted about an hour but was held at a high tempo with a variety of drills as intense as a full game. As in a match, there were broken sticks and pucks flying out of the rink, some of which were picked up as souvenirs by the luckiest fans.
You couldn’t miss the coach — Alexey Isakov’s voice carried across the arena even over the lively hum of the stands. The session included team drills as well as individual work for defensemen, forwards and goalies.
Although the team had a meeting with the coaching staff scheduled after the practice, Torpedo players handed out autographs and posed for photos. Fans were reluctant to let some players go.
A correspondent from NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" managed to catch a few words from the Nizhny captain Alexey Kruchinin. He said that an open practice is not much different from a regular one: "Training is not a game, it’s a little different. Today we were told right away not to pay attention to the stands and to work in the same way. So the spectators just watch what the training process looks like from the inside. The fans didn’t distract us, everything’s fine."
Tomorrow the club’s newcomer Vladimir Tkachev, who joined the team in a trade with Sibir, will begin practicing with the squad.
On November 28 Torpedo will host Minsk’s Dinamo. This meeting (6+) will conclude Nizhny’s extended home stretch, after which they will head out on a three-game road trip in early December.
Torpedo currently sit fourth in the Western Conference. Thanks to the break in the schedule, the team has almost evened out the number of games played with other clubs. They trail the conference leader, Yaroslavl’s Lokomotiv, by just two points.
Earlier, Governor Gleb Nikitin spoke about what awaits the Nagorny complex after Torpedo’s move to the new arena, which, incidentally, is being postponed.
