The Ukrainian aerospace company «Ukrspecsystems» presented its new reconnaissance «SHARK» drone. The corresponding video was posted yesterday on the Facebook page of the enterprise, following its participation in the SahaExpo 2022 Defence Fair in Istanbul. 

According to «Ukrspecsystems», ​​the developers have combined advanced technologies and the world’s richest experience in the use of unmanned aerial vehicles. The capabilities of «SHARK» include solving reconnaissance, surveillance and fire correction tasks. Work on the drone began after February 24 in the face of a full-scale Russian invasion. In less than half a year, «SHARK» was already flying.

The drone was designed for deep aerial reconnaissance in temporarily occupied territories and adjustment of western long-range weapons. In particular, «SHARK» has reliable encrypted communication and a camera with 30-fold optical zoom and additional digital zoom. The drone allows the military to go deep into the enemy’s rear up to 60 km and conduct surveillance at a distance of up to 5 km from the UAV to the object. This is made possible due to a modern camera system and a highly reliable communication module installed on a «SHARK».

«It is a double pride that this is a completely Ukrainian drone – from idea to production,» – Ukrspecsystems notes.
