SkyForce codifies two new drones: what they can do

Ukrainian drone manufacturer SkyForce has codified two new FPV drones built on 13- and 15-inch frames. Defender Media spoke with the developers and learned that the company is also working on an interceptor drone.

The new SkyForce CRONUS 13 model can operate at distances of up to 25 km and carry up to 5 kg of payload. Its flight time is up to 23 minutes. The drone supports analogue, digital and infrared video. Control is provided via radio link or fibre-optic connection.

The largest model in the line, SkyForce HERA 15, has a flight range of up to 30 km. It can carry up to 5 kg of payload and remain airborne for up to 28 minutes. The drone supports analogue, digital and infrared video systems. Control is carried out via radio link or fibre-optic connection.

Earlier models are also listed on the Brave1 state marketplace, including the HADES 8, which has a flight range of up to 15 km. The drone can carry up to 1.8 kg of payload. Maximum flight time is 16 minutes. The drone supports analogue, digital and infrared video and uses a radio communication channel.

The SkyForce ZEUS 10 FPV drone has a flight range of up to 16 km and can carry up to 3 kg of payload. Its flight time is also up to 16 minutes.

Earlier, Defender Media reported on a shortage of fibre-optic cable for drones in Ukraine, partly due to rising raw material costs.
