After undergoing rear-area trials, the new Ukrainian UAV SpyGun has been handed over for testing in the combat zone.
The SpyGun drone is designed for deep reconnaissance, but if necessary, it can also be used for fire correction.
The UAV was created by Ukrainian engineers and designers on the initiative of entrepreneur and volunteer Yuri Holik and Ukrainian Armed Forces serviceman and tennis player Serhiy Stakhovsky.
The complex consists of two UAVs and a ground control station.
Thanks to a modern radio control system with a high level of protection against electronic countermeasures, the reconnaissance aircraft can operate at distances of up to 50 km.
The SpyGun drone is equipped with an automatic return-to-launch-point system, and its high aerodynamic characteristics allow it to glide along a selected route with the engine off, conserving battery power.
- Flight time without landing is 120-160 minutes.
- Maximum flight altitude is 1500 m.
- Operating altitude is 500-600 m.
- Speed is 90 km/h.
- Cameras include a forward-facing live stream and a GoPro.
- Photos and videos are recorded onto an onboard carrier.
The SpyGun UAV is relatively inexpensive and quickly manufactured, featuring a simple body design that provides stealthiness in the sky during operations.
