In September 2024, Russian troops picked up a strange Ukrainian drone that had crashed. Their dismantling report is as follows:


The wingspan is about 3 meters and the fuselage is made of carbon fiber. The overall design is truly fascinating.

The warhead is a bomb. The engine is China's Xuanyun SW400pro turbojet model engine, because of its high fuel consumption and small fuel tank, it can't fly far (10 minutes)

There are no cameras on the drone. Strangely, it has two communication systems. One is a generic RFD900 remote radio modem. There is also a RockBlock Iridium modem, but it is not clear how it will be used because its data rate is very low.

All components are civilian parts. Judgment is made by Ukrainian enterprises after their own procurement and assembly production.

The body was printed using a powder bed 3D printer. The manufacturer is a person who likes mechanical engineering and knows how to use carbon fiber but is not very keen on designing circuit boards (the factory has low production capacity and no PCB design production capacity).
