Since 2015, the Armed Forces have received more than 300 reconnaissance UAVs "Leleka-100"




During the war in the Donbas, the Ukrainian private company DeViRo supplied the military with more than 300 units of unmanned reconnaissance vehicles.

With reference to Defense Express.

First of all, we are talking about the well-known light class vehicles - BpAK "Leleka-100", which is widely used by units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of ​​environmental protection.

“During the war years, the number of devices has already exceeded 300 manufactured units. At the moment, according to users represented by the Ministry of Defense, the Leleka-100 complex is the most massive complex used in the area of ​​Operation Allied Forces, ”said Denis Cherednichenko, co-owner of DEVIRO Production and Innovation Company.


According to him, the aircraft, the delivery of which under the State Defense Order began in 2016, has now conducted up to 46% of all combat sorties in the Donbass. Since 2018, BpAK "Leleka-100" is in trial operation in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and is preparing for adoption.

"As of today" Stork-100 ″ has successfully passed preliminary tests. I believe that the issue of arming is most likely a matter of the coming months, "said Denis Cherednichenko.

Dnieper drones are used for reconnaissance, in particular, the so-called deep reconnaissance, which is conducted in radio silence at any time of day. Such solutions, together with the use of a two-way digital channel with encryption and other know-how, allow to oppose Russian EW means quite effectively.


According to Denis Cherednichenko, the main reason why such UAVs have not yet been delivered to the Armed Forces is the lack of appropriate ammunition in Ukraine (both small bombs and main units for strike drones).

Despite many years of announcements on the development of such weapons, in our country has not been created legal serial and adopted ammunition of this class, and without them the development of safe carriers makes no sense.

It will be recalled that in addition to the Leleka-100 military-industrial complex, A1-SM Fury drones developed by the Athlon Avia NPP were also supplied to the Armed Forces en masse. Since 2014, more than 100 such complexes have been delivered to the security forces of Ukraine (consisting of 2-3 UAVs and one control station).
Tactical and technical characteristics of Ukrainian unmanned complexes supplied to the Armed Forces (according to available modern data from the manufacturers' websites)

Slightly less common in small reconnaissance vehicles from the private Odessa company Spaitech (BPA Sparrow) and OJSC "Meridian" named after SP Korolev (BPA "Spectator-M1").

Ukrainian security forces also use more powerful unmanned aerial vehicles of the "small" operational and tactical class - BpAK ACS-3 produced by LLC "Aviation Production Company" Skaeton "and BpAK People's Drone PD-1 from UkrSpecSystems.
