Large and slow-flying Ukrainian drones like the UJ-22 Airborne and the A-22 Foxbat have had good success in penetrating Russia’s much-vaunted layered air defense. The drones have repeatedly struck heavily defended Russian air bases and energy storage and processing installations.
The Ukrjet UJ-22 Airborne is a single-engine drone that can either carry an internal warhead or several air-dropped bombs weighing up to 20 kg. It has a traditional light aircraft layout with straight high wings and a tractor propeller, simple straight wings, and fixed undercarriage.
The 3.7-meter-long drone, with a 4.2-meter-wide wing span, is one of the largest kamikaze drones known to be in service. It has a range of 800 km. The A22 Foxbat is a similar large drone.
Recent Damaging Ukrainian Drone Attacks
Since the start of the Ukrainian offensive in Kursk on August 6, Ukrainian drones have targeted air bases at Baltimor and Borisoglebsk in the Voronezh region and Savasleyka in the Nizhny Novgorod region.
