Unmanned aerial vehicle deployment in Russia-Ukraine war

Overview

The conflict involves the deployment of specialized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by both Russian and Ukrainian forces.

Russian company UralDronZavod has developed the ‘Upyr’ series, which includes the Upyr-18 quadcopter FPV drone capable of carrying 10 kilograms of explosives to target armored vehicles, and the Upyr-K fixed-wing drone designed to destroy bunkers and buildings using anti-tank mines. The company is currently working on autonomous guidance systems.

In the Donetsk region near Kramatorsk, Ukrainian reconnaissance units are utilizing domestically produced A1-CM Furia wing drones. These units use the drones to monitor Russian military movements, locating equipment, bunkers, and troops to relay intelligence to artillery and missile units for targeted strikes.
