Quote: "The main idea of the project is to reduce the number of people who risk their lives. That is, to replace them with robots, i.e. drones."

Details: Reportedly, the cost of the Cobra is about US$2,000, which is cheaper than foreign or Ukrainian analogues. To reduce the cost of production, the developers decided to use metal rather than composite materials.

This drone has a flight range of 300 kilometres and a payload of 15 kilograms.

Background:

  • The Ukrainian Defence Ministry reported that Ukraine is stepping up production of kamikaze drones and plans to produce 155mm ammunition on its territory in quantities that will cover the difference between its needs and the assistance provided by partners.
  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy vowed to establish logistics and domestic drone production.
  • Oleksandr Kamyshin, Minister of Strategic Industries of Ukraine, said that Ukraine plans to produce one million FPV drones, more than 10,000 medium-range attack drones and more than 1,000 drones with a range of 1,000 kilometres or more next year.
