BlueBird unveiled new Chuyka 3 Plus drone detector

BlueBird Tech announced the launch of the Chuyka 3 Plus drone detector, an upgraded version of the Chuyka 3.0. The device is designed to detect analogue FPV drone signals.

The new version retains three scanning bands but adds an expanded mid-band range at 3.3 GHz, covering frequencies from 2,870 to 4,500 MHz.

Chuyka 3 Plus automatically scans three frequency ranges. A full cycle takes 4–8 seconds. When the device detects a signal, it issues audio and visual alerts.

Signal information is displayed on a small screen, while the intercepted video from an FPV drone’s camera can be viewed on a larger display. The detector can also be connected to a video output to transmit the image to an external screen.

According to BlueBird Tech, the detection range is up to 4 km and depends on operating conditions and antenna type. The device weighs 650 g, has an IP54-rated PETG plastic housing and operates for up to six hours on its built-in 4,500 mAh battery.

BlueBird Tech presented the Chuyka 3.0 drone detector in June 2025. In 2026, the Ukrainian manufacturer has already unveiled the Chuyka 4.0 and Chuyka 4.5.0 versions — the latter featuring four frequency ranges.
