The MRIYA UAV offers numerous advantages thanks to its advanced features:
- High Accuracy of Strikes: The ability to deliver precise strikes reduces collateral damage and enhances the effectiveness of combat operations.
- Large Operational Radius: With a range of up to 75 km, the "MRIYA" can execute missions deep within enemy territory, a critical advantage in modern warfare.
- High Speed and Maneuverability: The drone's cruising speed of 70 km/h and maximum speed of 110 km/h make it both fast and agile in the field.
- Extended Flight Duration: Capable of flying for up to 65 minutes, the "MRIYA" can undertake long missions without frequent recharging.
- Versatility: Its modular design allows it to be equipped with a variety of targeting systems, enabling the "MRIYA" to perform tasks such as precise destruction of enemy personnel and equipment, neutralization of electronic warfare (EW) and anti-aircraft defenses, and counter-battery operations.
The manufacturers have emphasized their ongoing efforts to scale production to supply more of these high-tech tools to Ukrainian defenders, thereby increasing combat capability and broadening the range of complex combat tasks they can undertake.
Additionally, Ukraine has developed armor-piercing ammunition for FPV drones, effective against lightly armored vehicles like self-propelled guns, armored personnel carriers, and vehicles protected by anti-accumulation and anti-drone measures.
Ukrainian engineers have also created a new combat module called Khyzhak, which integrates advanced machine vision technology with powerful weaponry to destroy moving targets both in the sky and on the ground.
