The Ukrainian startup Buntar Aerospace has launched the Buntar-3 drone, which is resistant to electronic warfare effects

The Ukrainian defense tech startup Buntar Aerospace has launched the Buntar-3 drone, resistant to electronic warfare (EW) systems, the team told AIN.

The Buntar-3 was developed over two years and underwent three iterations. It has a flight time of up to 3.5 hours, a tactical range of up to 80 km, and can detect targets at distances up to 15 km. The drone has already been tested in combat missions across the Pokrovske, Kupiansk, Lysychansk, Kurakhiv, Svatove, Belgorod, and Bryansk directions.

One of the key advantages of the Buntar-3 is the full integration of all operational stages into a single system.

Alongside the Buntar Aerospace UAVs, the company presented the Buntar Copilot software, which integrates mission planning, drone launch, and analytics into a single workflow. The software assists in planning combat operations, managing flights, and analyzing mission results.

"During all combat flights, not a single signal was jammed. The system operates reliably under active electronic warfare conditions — proven in real missions. With Buntar-3, we have achieved capabilities to: Stay airborne for 3.5 hours, Cover a tactical radius of 80 km, Detect targets at distances up to 15 km, Maintain high resistance to enemy electronic warfare, the system is built on the Buntar Copilot platform as a unified solution: planning, launch, control, and analytics — all in one continuous cycle," stated Buntar Aerospace.

The system also enables simultaneous control of multiple drones and integrates with combat platforms such as DELTA.

Buntar Aerospace emphasizes that Copilot reduces the risk of drone loss and increases the efficiency of repeated missions. The main risk in UAV combat use is not the technology itself but the human factor—improper planning, launching in bad weather, or mistakes during missions.

“Our focus is not just on avoiding drone losses, but on providing pilots with all the tools needed for sustainable, repeatable operations in the field. This is the key to gaining an advantage,” said Buntar Aerospace co-founder Bohdan Sas.
