Ukrainian developers have demonstrated flight tests of a jet-powered drone designed for intercepting airborne targets.

This was reported by the telegram channel Military Journal.

According to the information released, the unmanned aerial system Bullet is specifically created to counter enemy reconnaissance and strike drones, as well as helicopters.

Footage shows the experimental aircraft-type drone taking off from a concrete surface, performing flight maneuvers, and landing.

Telemetry data indicates the aircraft reached speeds of approximately 130 km/h during the flight. While this is insufficient for intercepting airborne targets, considering the use of a jet engine, the actual maximum speed could be significantly higher.

For spatial orientation, the drone utilized a camera similar to those used in FPV drones.

It is reported that the cost of such a system amounts to 5.8 million Ukrainian hryvnias (approximately 140 thousand US dollars). The system includes a ground control station and 5 aircraft.
