What is known about the Bober and Peklo drones
The Bober kamikaze drone looks like an airplane with a small front part of the main wing, which flies slowly, but has a long flight range. According to some reports, the UAV's flight range is 1,000 kilometers. The drone is built according to the aerodynamic “swinging” scheme, which ensures the efficiency of changing altitude to pass through air defense zones.
The Peklo drone is a drone with a turbojet engine, such drones were handed over to the Defense Forces in December 2024. This drone missile can hit at 700 kilometers and accelerates to 700 km / h. The length and wingspan are about 2 meters, which is why the warhead is unlikely to exceed 50 kg. The body is made using jet aircraft manufacturing technologies: metal and rivets.
