The Deadliner Q15-30 fiber-optic FPV drone from Ukrainian manufacturer Stellarion has successfully completed codification by Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence. The platform will become available for Defence Forces units to procure through the Brave1 and DOT-Chain state procurement platforms.

As Defender Media learned from the manufacturer, the Deadliner Q15-30 is engineered to execute missions at ranges of up to 30 km with a payload capacity of up to 3 kg. Its stated flight endurance is at least 30 minutes, with a maximum speed of 110 km/h.

The UAV can be integrated with a dual optical suite comprising daylight and thermal imaging cameras, with analog or digital options available for the video link architecture.

The company noted that the platform undergoes continuous software and structural updates based on front-line operator feedback, while variants featuring 35 km and 40 km spools are currently being prepared for MoD codification.

According to Stellarion, Deadliner series fiber-optic FPV drones maintain a mission success rate exceeding 70%.
