The Sokil-300 Ukrainian attack drone was developed by the PROMIN Design Bureau. It is equipped with a domestic opto-electronic station, can use various types of engines: both domestic AI-450T2 and MC-500B-05С/СЕ, and foreign-made Rotax 914.
Depending on the engine type, “empty” and “full weight” also differ. In the version with AI-450T2, these indicators are 535/1225 kg for MC-500В-05С/СЕ – 530/1220 kg and for Rotax 914 – 420/1130 kg, respectively.
The Sokil-300 UAV flies at a maximum altitude of 10-12 km and is controlled by an inertial unit with a laser gyroscope developed by the Arsenal special instrument manufacturing enterprise.
Armament – guided missiles of the type RK-2P, R2-M and RK-10 with a range of up to 10 km.
The Sokil-300 UAV can be equipped with radio engineering equipment: a small on-board radar station and a synthetic aperture radar. A radar with a synthesized aperture can scan the ground at an altitude of 5 km with an accuracy of 30×30 cm.
The Sokil-300 drone is equipped with a domestic optical-electronic station, the station has already been tested as part of the Barrier-V anti-tank missile complex for helicopters.
The complex is managed from a mobile checkpoint combined with the checkpoint of the RK-360 MC “Neptune” missile complex and a truck placed on the chassis.
