About Punisher

This lightweight airstrike and reconnaissance UCAV was developed by UA Dynamics. Punisher is approved for use by the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among the drone’s advantages are small size, low-noise engines, zero thermal signature, the capacity to control radio signal attenuation and radio frequency transparent materials. All this makes the drone almost invisible to radars.

The Punisher drone can fly up to 45 kilometers and takes 15 minutes to launch. After 5 minutes of reloading, it is ready for the next task. In addition to direct action, this drone is used for reconnaissance, search and rescue, and can carry a container with medicines that is dropped to help the wounded. The Punisher is a high-precision alternative to long-range artillery or missile weapons for the destruction of enemy targets at distances of 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 km.
