Russia, China Developing the World’s First Drone-Carrying Missile
12:52 GMT 09.09.2015 (Updated: 13:41 GMT 09.09.2015) A multiple rocket launcher jointly being developed by Russia and China will feature the world’s first ever missile capable of hauling a drone.
"Using this new configuration we’ll be able to reconnoiter far-off targets pretty fast as the drone is carried 90 kilometers [56 miles] away by a missile moving at a tremendous speed," Rostec deputy director Dmitry Rytenkov told RIA Novosti on Wednesday.

"The UAV will then fly for around 30 minutes scouting the designated area in a real time mode and sending obtained information to the operator," he added.
On the Russian side the development work on the 300mm missile is being done by Splav — a Tula-based scientific production association.
Earlier it was reported that the two countries will jointly create a brand new heavy-lift helicopter.
