Ukraine has launched production of AQ-400 Scythe barrage munitions
Terminal Autonomy, formerly known as One Way Aerospace, has announced the launch of mass production of the AQ-400 Scythe barrage munitions. Initially, it plans to assemble 100 units of kamikaze drones per month. In the future, production volumes will be increased to 500 units.
The drone’s flight range is 750 km. To launch it, you need a catapult or a short runway. The aircraft has a payload of 32 kg. If desired, it can be increased to 70 kg, but this will reduce the flight range. For comparison, the weight of the Shahed-136 warhead is 40 kg.
The launch of mass assembly of barrage ammunition was made possible by involving a network of small engineering companies and industrial enterprises in the project. The Ukrainian company buys some of the components for the AQ-400 Scythe in the UK, Germany and other foreign countries.
The AQ-400 Scythe is characterized by fast assembly, cost-effectiveness and mass production capability.
