According to the report, one of Ukraine’s stealth attack drones has made another fleeting appearance somewhere over the 1,100-km front line of Russia’s 42-month-long war on Ukraine. A video that circulated online in recent days may mark only the second appearance of the mysterious drone. This black-painted UAV is special. Most of Ukraine’s long-range attack drones feature the same basic design elements: long straight wings, narrow booms connecting the fuselage and engine to the tail, and propeller propulsion. The flying wing planform, which lacks highly reflective right angles, scatters radar waves in all directions instead of bouncing them straight back at the emitting dish.

The report also said that the mystery drone has company. There’s a slightly bigger Ukrainian jet drone, also with a flying wing platform, that has made a couple of appearances on social media since last year. The main difference between the two stealth drones, besides their size, is that the bigger model has a single vertical stabilizer; the smaller model has twin vertical stabilizers. The bigger drone is powered by a German-made JetCat P400-PRO turbojet costing $14,000, Euromaidan Press reports. It’s clear that both stealth drones exist in small numbers, likely owing to their higher cost and complexity compared to other drone types. The Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces’ main attack drone is the straight-wing, propeller-driven An-196. Ukrainian firm Ukroboronprom builds the An-196 by the hundreds: Germany recently ponied up $100 million to pay for 500 of the drones. ious stealth jet drones crush targets inside Russia. But Russian air defense systems cannot feel them.

Ukraine should thank Germany and other European countries especially those that are members of EU. Without United States of America and other European countries, Russia would have run Ukraine over.
