Come Back Alive NGO sends Shark drones to Ukrainian intelligence to adjust HIMARS fire

Soldiers of Defense Intelligence at the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine received two Shark reconnaissance complexes with a total cost of 26 million hryvnias from the Come Back Alive fund.

The Defense Intelligence announced it, Rubryka reports.

What is the problem?

Russian troops are armed with a lot of military equipment used in the war of aggression in Ukraine.

Shark UAVs can adjust large-caliber artillery for a long time, resistant to EW and difficult weather conditions. Several UAVs capable of operating in difficult weather conditions can be controlled from one station.

What is the solution?

"The other day, the intelligence fighters received two SHARK reconnaissance drones from the Come Back Alive fund and OKKO, the total cost of which is 26 million hryvnias," intelligence officers report.

SHARK will adjust and search for targets, in particular for HIMARS. This UAV from the Ukrainian manufacturer showed itself well in combat conditions.

How does it work?

"Just in the last few weeks, the first complex handed over by benefactors destroyed approximately $25 million worth of Russian equipment," the report says.

The Ukrainian intelligence officers received four drones, two command posts based on specially equipped transit vehicles, and two launchers.

Reference

SHARK is an unmanned reconnaissance complex created by the Ukrspecsystems company for monitoring and adjusting fire.

The camera of this Shark UAV is equipped with an electro-optical sensor with 30x optical zoom and additional digital zoom. It can perform adaptive target tracking even in the case of an object speed of 100 km/h.

SHARK can stay in the air for up to four hours and has an operating temperature from -15 °C to +50 °C.

Shark combines the war-tested technologies and combat experience of the larger operational-tactical UAVs of the PD-1 and PD-2 series. The UAV is launched from a catapult and has an operational range of up to 60 km, rising to a height of up to 2,000 meters. Its maximum speed is 150 km/h. The cruising speed is 70-90 km/h; the tipping speed is 60 km/h. Landing is carried out using a parachute.

As Rubryka reported, the secret Black Box intelligence project, for which the Ukrainians raised money through the Come Back Alive fund, caused losses to the Russians of more than $700 million.

Ukrainian intelligence officers have also mastered and used the Black Hawk helicopter in combat operations.
