Details
"Bebradron" is a fixed-wing, aircraft-type tactical drone created in Ukraine to perform combat missions at medium ranges.
According to the manufacturer, the drone reaches speeds of up to 150 km/h, remains airborne for 30 minutes, and transmits video and telemetry to the operator in real time.
What is special about the Ukrainian development
The drone is launched using a compact pneumatic catapult manufactured by BlueBird Tech. This makes it possible to use the drone without large launch equipment.
Military units can now purchase it directly and officially use it on the battlefield. Thus, pilots have more opportunities to engage enemy targets
In addition to the strike version, the developers created the modular "Bebradron KIT" platform and the "Bebradron-M" training modification for operator training.
Codification means that the drone has undergone the necessary official procedures and can be supplied to the Security and Defence Forces of Ukraine. At the same time, the volume of future state procurements has not yet been reported.
