Skazhenyi interceptor drones capable of speeds up to 365 km/h listed on Brave1

Two variants of the high-speed Skazhenyi interceptor drone, designed to engage aerial targets, have been listed on the state-run Brave1 Marketplace. As Defender Media learned from the UV Military Cluster, the interceptor was developed jointly with the Odesa Air Defence Forces and is currently undergoing codification.

The marketplace features both daytime and night-time variants of the drone. The daytime version is equipped with a low-light camera for twilight operations and utilises an analogue video link. The night-time variant is outfitted with a thermal imaging camera and operates via a digital video link.

Both versions reach a maximum speed of up to 310 km/h, feature a cruising speed of 160 km/h, offer a flight endurance of up to 25 minutes, and carry a payload of up to 450 g. The maximum operational altitude is 5,000 metres.

The interceptor is not equipped with a terminal guidance system. According to the manufacturer, the drone has a tactical operating radius of 25 km and a maximum operational range of 45 km. It is also noted that the platform’s high manoeuvrability enables it to execute repeated engagement runs against a target.

On the Brave1 Marketplace, the daytime version of the Skazhenyi is priced at approximately UAH 43,000, while the night-time digital variant is listed at UAH 104,000.

Earlier, Defender Media reported on the AQ180K and AQ400 loitering munitions, which feature an operational range of up to 500 km.
