Translation:
UAV that flew to Moscow and hit the target!
The First Contact company from Chernihiv has been developing drones since 2014, and created the “Kyivska Rus” strike drone.
The UAV was developed to deliver a “payload” over long distances.
The system consists of an aircraft and a control platform.
The drone has a flight range of 700 km. at a speed of 140 km/h. It can work at temperatures from -10 to +40 degrees.
It can carry a payload of up to 16 kg.
The UAV is equipped with a gasoline engine with a capacity of up to 12 horsepower, a tank of 20 liters.
The maximum take-off weight with fuel is 50 kg.
OP up there was talking about SIGINT - signals intelligence. That means that we helped them design their bombing run (eg to avoid detection) and probably helped designate a target.
Whether or not they received any assistance in the design or manufacturing of the drone, they very very likely had help from US intelligence.
Yes, that is what I meant. For a drone like this to hit its target, it must avoid being detected by air defence. The only way to achieve this for a simple system like this is to go around it, i.e. it has to know where the air defence assets are. Which is where the US comes in because there is no other way for Ukraine to obtain this kind of information.
Oh, he’s talking about hitting targets in Moscow part
