Hail the new droneless complex from Ukrspetssystems "SHARK"!!!
Resistant to the work of thieves REB complexes, can conduct deep reconnaissance behind the front line, as well as guide our distant artillery systems (the same HIMARS). pic.twitter.com/NkBXaB7ZjR
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.
