Air3F launches serial production of heavy bomber Mangush

Ukrainian company Air3F has launched the serial production of a heavy-lift UAV bomber Mangush. Built on a 15-inch multirotor frame, the drone is engineered for logistics and precision payload release at medium ranges.

The developers have introduced a proprietary airframe design specifically adapted for high-load operations. The Mangush can be configured for a single heavy drop of up to 9 kg or a dual-drop mission carrying two 3.5 kg payloads.

The platform boasts a flight endurance of up to 35 minutes, an operational range of 15 km, and an altitude ceiling of 1,500 m. Its maximum speed reaches 110 km/h. The UAV is equipped with a digital video transmission system and supports command-and-control via ELRS or TBS protocols.

Key design features include a folding landing gear mechanism to ensure stability during touchdown and payload deployment. Additionally, the control and video antennas are strategically separated across different sections of the frame to maximise signal stability and mitigate interference during flight.

The unit cost of the Mangush is 91,000 UAH.

The Air3F portfolio also features the Varkhan unmanned ground vehicle, the Poshtar UAV line, and ground control stations, telescopic masts, antennas, signal repeaters, and related tactical electronics.
