The military greatly appreciated the capabilities of the ground-based drone and ordered a new batch from its creator.
Military Yevgeny Gnatyuk is working on a new modification of the “invisible” Sirko drone. This is stated in the TSN story that aired on July 19.
A fighter from the Armed Forces of Ukraine assembles his drones in a garage that used to be a cocoa warehouse. It started with a drone sent to the war zone as an experimental model. There the army appreciated the equipment that could undermine even tanks, and ordered a new batch of Gnatiuk.
Now there are already several dozen Sirko aircraft in the war zone. The developer himself plans to improve the drones and stream production. According to Gnatyuk, it is quite possible to collect 15 such drones in two weeks.
He is now working on the fifth version of his technique. For a certain form, Gnatyuk calls it “BBQ”. Because he doesn’t want the development to fall into the hands of Russian invaders, he wants to “program” the new drone to self-destruct after blowing up enemy equipment.
What is known about the ground-based drone “Sirko”
The drone moves with the help of four wheels and looks like a toy car. Its peculiarity is that the electronic warfare equipment used by the RF Armed Forces cannot detect the Circus. This makes the drone literally invisible to the enemy.
Drone specifications:
- price – 30 thousand UAH;
- purpose – reconnaissance, undermining the equipment and manpower of the enemy, delivery of ammunition;
- working radius – 50 km.
Recall that in early July, the media wrote that the army has invented an “invisible” ground-based drone that can even blow up tanks of the Russian Armed Forces. According to the inventor himself, his technique is an inexpensive model of a ground-based drone. Yevgeny Gnatok named its development in honor of the deceased comrade, who had the call sign “Sirko”.
And a little earlier, a farm plane in Ukraine was converted into one of the best military UAVs in the world. The drone is a fixed-wing military reconnaissance aircraft. This is an unmanned aerial vehicle with a 61 megapixel multispectral camera on a gyro-stabilized gimbal.
