The Punisher has already been approved for use by the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces. This was announced by Maxim Music, CEO of UA Dynamics, which developed the drone.

Wanted punishers – get it

The name “Punisher” is translated from English as “Punisher”. According to the developers’ website, the concept of multi-strike aircraft was created by veterans of the Russian-Ukrainian war to conduct special reconnaissance and raid tactics on important military installations with enhanced protection in the deep rear of the enemy. The main tasks of the complex are to destroy the forces and means of the enemy and to create a constant psychological pressure.

The UA Dynamics team is pleased to announce that our development of the Punisher drone reconnaissance complex has successfully passed field tests at one of the Armed Forces training grounds and has been approved for combat use by the Special Operations Forces of Ukraine.

In the near future, the first five complexes will be transferred to the combat units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the crews of which will be trained by the company’s instructors.

The UA Dynamics team only works for victory. We do not sell complexes and do not make a profit. All complexes are collected with voluntary funds and charitable contributions of the patriotic community and donated to the Armed Forces of Ukraine for free. My deepest gratitude to all who have helped us bring victory closer and provided the Special Operations Forces with modern attack and reconnaissance drones,

Goals and features

• The objectives of the UAV; It can be enemy checkpoints, communications centers, electronic warfare units, air defense equipment, ammunition depots, infantry barracks, light armored vehicles, vehicles and more.
• According to the news on the site, the drone was designed to be invisible to humans and radars.
• They have small dimensions, low-noise engines, zero thermal signatures, the possibility of controlled attenuation of the radio signal, and radio-transparent materials that make drones invisible to radar.

Thus, this high-precision complex with the most predictable impact localization can go undetected in the enemy’s surveillance system and deliver unexpected and devastating blows to strategic objects in the deep rear.

• The drone, which can fly up to 45 kilometers, requires 15 minutes of preparation for launch and can be used again 5 minutes after the previous mission.
• The maximum speed of the device reaches 198 kilometers per hour, which allows it to operate even in adverse stormy weather conditions, when the wind speed exceeds 21 meters per second.
• The radius of continuous fragmentation is 50 meters.
• Among the functions are also search and reconnaissance, so we can conclude that there are cameras on board.
• Besides carrying a high-explosive bomb (which is cheap to manufacture, according to the developers), the drone can act as a shipping container carrying other payloads. The drone’s modular design allows you to choose the right type of container for a given task.

Currently, the team is trying to restart and increase production in one of the western regions of Ukraine after the evacuation of production facilities in Kharkiv and Kiev.
