Ukrspecsystems company created a new reconnaissance drone SHARK UAV. It is a completely Ukrainian project, from idea to production.

According to the developers, the idea of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) SHARK appeared after the start of the full-scale invasion, and all the work from the project to the first flight took less than half a year.

“Ukrspecsystems SHARK UAV is a small UAV that is launched using a catapult and lands on parachutes. According to the company’s specialists, SHARK can solve all the main tasks of reconnaissance, surveillance, and adjustment of fire. The drone is equipped with a camera with 30x optical zoom and additional digital zoom and has a reliable encrypted communication channel,” reports Mezha Media.

SHARK is ready for use in combat conditions. The UAV is designed specifically for penetrating into temporarily enemy-controlled territory: conducting deep aerial reconnaissance, and adjusting fire, including from Western long-range weapons, such as HIMARS.

“The development of the new drone was actually carried out already during the full-scale invasion as a quick response of our company to the challenges and needs of the Ukrainian army. This is another proof of the coolness and indomitability of the Ukrainian people, because in such difficult conditions we are able to create world-class high-tech products!” said the developers.

Meanwhile, a demining machine Armtac 400 is already operating in Kharkiv Oblast. It was purchased by UNITED24. Armtac 400 is the largest and most effective demining machine, worth more than UAH 18 million (about $500,000).
