Transcript

A Ukrainian interceptor drone spotted a strange Russian drone over the front lines. Design-wise, it resembles a quadcopter enclosed within an oval-shaped circular wing. The drone is manufactured by the Ushkuinik Research Center and is called the Kniaz Vladimir Svyatoslavovich. It is designed for longer-range strikes with a claimed range of over 50 kilometers. The drone can take off vertically, but during flight, it operates as a winged aircraft powered by four propellers. It features an automatic target acquisition system and is capable of continuing its mission even if radio contact is lost.
