Ukraine has developed a new drone “Gor”
To meet the needs of the Defense Forces, Ukrainian engineers have designed the Hor reconnaissance drone. According to ArmyInform, the first flight of the reconnaissance drone prototype took place in May 2022.
The head of the Airlogix company told journalists about the development of a domestic reconnaissance UAV. According to him, the prototypes were sent to the front line for testing in August last year. The first feedback from operators was far from flattering. Subsequently, most of the shortcomings they identified were eliminated.
Airlogix designers decided to abandon foam in favor of composite materials. The drone’s interior has been modified. “The GOR can boast of having quite powerful optics. He received one of the best cameras on the market.
The reconnaissance UAV has already experienced the effects of enemy electronic warfare. The enemy failed to suppress the operation of the aircraft’s systems. The Gor drone has official approval from the Ministry of Defense for use in the Armed Forces.
Technical characteristics:
- Flight range: 150 km.
- Length of the communication channel: 40 km.
- Effective ceiling: 3.5 km.
- Battery life: 2.5 hours.
The system includes a control station and three reconnaissance UAVs. Airlogix management is trying to find foreign investors willing to invest in scaling up the project.
