Sergey Pritula announced that his charitable organization has contracted two SHARK UAVs.

Here's What We Know

The SHARK UAV is Ukraine's newest drone. It was announced by UKRSPECSYSTEMS on October 27, and tests took place in summer. Work on the drone began after Russia's large-scale invasion of Ukraine.

The drone is notable for its resistance to enemy electronic warfare systems. The SHARK UAV is designed for reconnaissance and artillery fire control. It is possible that the drone will be used together with M142 HIMARS precision-guided missile systems.

The drone has a range of 60 km and can stay in the air for more than two hours. The SHARK UAV can reach speeds of up to 150 km/h, while the cruising speed of the drone is 70-90 km/h. The UAV is brought to "combat" readiness in 15 minutes. The camera can shoot Full HD video and has a 30x zoom without any loss of quality.

The Serhiy Prytula Charitable Foundation will pay ₴15.25 million ($413,000) for the two complexes. Each complex consists of a ground control station and two SHARK UAV drones.
