Translation:

UAV that flew to Moscow and hit the target!

The First Contact company from Chernihiv has been developing drones since 2014, and created the "Kyivska Rus" strike drone.

The UAV was developed to deliver a "payload" over long distances.

The system consists of an aircraft and a control platform.

The drone has a flight range of 700 km. at a speed of 140 km/h. It can work at temperatures from -10 to +40 degrees.

It can carry a payload of up to 16 kg.

The UAV is equipped with a gasoline engine with a capacity of up to 12 horsepower, a tank of 20 liters.

The maximum take-off weight with fuel is 50 kg.

It's strange to me that 30 years later, basic RC Airplanes that I used to build/fly are being used as weapons of war. With the only difference being smaller GPS receivers and small cheap MEMS accelometer/gyro's.

Always figured they'd be easy to track/shoot down, but I guess no one bothered building AA for something that small, which is strange to me.

With a little help from US SIGINT, I suppose.
