Scout and strike drones will be added to the game with the release of the upcoming War Thunder major update. Learn more from our Developers Blog now!
The use of remotely controlled unmanned aerial vehicles for reconnaissance and even strikes against enemy targets was thoroughly studied in the second half of the 20th century. The heyday of drones came in the early 2000s, and today they are a must-have tactical unit in any modern army in the world.

The next major game update will bring combat drones to War Thunder - scout and attack UAVs will be hovering over the battlefields of high-rank tank battles. Scout drones will become available for all rank VI-VII "light tank" class vehicles as a researchable modification. The commander will be able to launch the scout drone into the sky during the battle, and switchi... Read more

A new location for combined battles that was inspired by the landscapes of the foothills that surround the Himalayas.

Here, on the border between India and Pakistan, begins the first stage of the majestic and ancient Himalayas. The plains turn into wooded hills, with mountains rising behind. This textured terrain inspired the War Thunder artists to create this new location named “Pradesh”, an arena for combined battles, which will be available with the upcoming major update.



“Pradesh” in Hindi means “region”, “area”. Here you will find typical landscape features commonplace for the northwestern regions of India and the northeastern part of Pakistan. Grassy hills and fo... Read more

In the upcoming major War Thunder update, we plan to introduce the engine fire extinguishing systems for planes and helicopters.

The first engine fire extinguishers were used during WWII. At the moment, such systems are equipped with almost all military aircraft - both planes and helicopters. In the upcoming major update of the game, we plan to add the aircraft engine fire extinguishers, and this is how they will work!

There are two types of fire extinguishing systems for aircraft engines - automatic and manual. We will introduce a new modification to the aircraft modifications list, which is called EFS/EFS(a), depending on the extinguisher's type. Automatic fire extinguishers are activated with the destruction of the capsule with the fire-fighting agent by extremely high temperatures occurring during engine fire. Manu... Read more
