Ukrainian B-2 drones in service with the “Birds of Madyar”: what is known about the UAVs

Norwegian media outlet NRK visited the positions of the 6th battalion crew of the “Birds of Madyar” brigade, showcasing the launch of Ukrainian-made B-2 125 medium-range strike UAVs. Defender Media has gathered further insights into these middle-strike drones from the manufacturer.

Two UAV variants are currently available for pre-order on the Brave1 Market state platform: the B-2 125 and the B-2 70, priced at UAH 745,280 and UAH 613,760, respectively. Both systems utilise analogue video transmission, day and thermal imaging cameras, and GNSS navigation. Launch is executed via a catapult system.

Defender Media received several photos of the B-2 middle-strike drone from the manufacturer:

Their technical specifications differ in range and payload capacity: the larger variant offers up to 320 km with an 8.6 kg payload, whereas the smaller version offers up to 400 km with a 3.5 kg payload. Their flight endurances are 150 and 210 minutes, respectively.

Both systems are equipped with terminal guidance functionality and are designed for striking stationary ground targets at predetermined coordinates, manual target acquisition, and radio signal relay operations.

In an interview with Norwegian journalists, the crew commander, callsign “Prince,” stated that the primary objective of these strikes is to interdict enemy logistics by targeting fuel, ammunition, and equipment supply routes deep within the front-line zone.

Commenting on the operational objectives, Robert “Madyar” Brovdi emphasised that the ultimate goal is to dismantle the conditions that enable the enemy to sustain offensive operations—specifically by disrupting supply chains, striking rear-area targets, and degrading defensive capabilities.
