RC-90 Medveditsa
The Russian Watchtower variant: an Airbus A350-based factory mission aircraft combining persistent observation, warning, command coordination, evidence recording, and tightly controlled force.
Overview
The Medveditsa carries Russian weapons, Russian sensors, a Russian home-country flight and weapons crew, and a multinational UNSC mission floor while remaining part of the common Watchtower family.
Production history
Early Watchtowers were civilian production slots diverted while still in the factory. Mature RC-90 aircraft were purpose-built A350-based variants prepared from the outset for mission power, cooling, apertures, reinforced mounts, sensors, mission stations, and combat-system installation.

Technical basis
Long-range wide-body efficiency supports multispectral surveillance, secure datalinks, mission-floor coordination, evidence storage, and limited precision-force systems.
