UAVs launched from Ukraine have a range of 1000 km and went at a low altitude, partner publication shared the details.

At extremely low altitude, with terrain envelope, it is more difficult to detect them, so they reached Russian territory, the general informed.

According to him, they are manufactured according to the aerodynamic “duck” design, and such drones are manufactured in the West, not in Ukraine.< /p >

The “Duck” scheme – yes, this is a modern UAV assembled in the West, not in Ukraine. The West is actively supplying UAVs, for them it is a run-in like a training ground. They differ in size, engines – jet, piston, load,” said Lipovoy.
