The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine has published on the War&Sanctions portal a 3D model, components, and parts of a new drone actively used by the aggressor country on various frontlines.
The UAV is equipped with a camera and two LTE modems, allowing video transmission in real time or recorded format via mobile base stations, as well as receiving commands to adjust its course.
In its strike version, the drone’s camera (with an adjustable viewing angle) and remote control can be used by the operator to guide it to the target following the FPV principle.
Structurally, the drone has a delta-wing fuselage similar to the Shahed-131 but slightly smaller. Its navigation system features a jamming-resistant satellite positioning unit with four patch antennas and Chinese Allystar modules.
Nearly 50% of the drone’s components are manufactured in China, including communication modules, a mini-computer, a power regulator, and a quartz generator.
A DLE engine is installed in the nose section, making the drone most similar to the “Italmas” loitering munition produced by Russia’s Zala Group.
According to the Intelligence Agency, the drone can be used as a reconnaissance or strike UAV, as well as a decoy to overload Ukrainian air defence systems.
