Say something nice to Chaklun, she is an interceptor drone.>Ukraine has unveiled a Shahed interceptor drone capable of speeds of up to 320 km/h, according to Army Recognition. >The Ukrainian interceptor drone “Chaklun” was presented at the SAHA Expo 2026 and is already being used against Russian UAVs.>The drone is equipped with a turbojet engine, can reach speeds of up to 320 km/h, and operates at altitudes of up to 6 km. Its range is up to 30 km when used together with RADA-class radars.>According to Army Recognition, “Chaklun” fills a niche between FPV interceptors and traditional anti-aircraft missiles. It was specifically designed to destroy reconnaissance drones and Shahed-type attack drones.>The developers also state that the drone can maintain control even under active electronic warfare. Personally, I like her sleek complexion.
>>65136998Is it a kamikaze drone or does it get any kind of weapons? It seems like a waste if it's the former.
What is wrong with the STING drones? Just keep on mass producing those

>>65137018>What is wrong with the STING drones?This is a faster, higher altitude, longer range equivalent.Also more EW resistant.I think it's meant more as a wide-area interceptor for reconnaissance drones but it will also help with the jet-powered shaheds too.>>65137013>Is it a kamikaze drone or does it get any kind of weapons?Pretty sure it's a hit-to-kill or prox-fuze kamikaze drone.I agree about this being wasteful but if you designed it to come back after a kill, it would need twice the range which means three times the size and more expense and and and...
>>65136998>Its range is up to 30 kmam i ignorant or is that not very much?
>>65137182Think of it as an AIM-9 with more loiter time that doesn't require a fighter.
>>65136998She looks like she'd give a latex fetishist (me) a boner on contact
>>65136998Why did they choose to debut it in Buttplug-Black?
>>65137018The Ukrainian defense industry is composed of many tiny startups with high growth that compete very hard for the government contracts.The army will just purchase anything they can to try it and if it works they'll order more. >>65137322If a drone suffers a malfunction and is recovered by the enemy someone will try it and detonate the warhead. Think of it as a rudimentary Mobik-activated self destruct.
>>65137322its called piano black you fucking homo
>>65136998>can reach speeds of up to 320 km/h>Its range is up to 30 kmAm I to interpret this as a ~5.5 minute operational time?How much does it cost?
>>65137360>puts a whole piano up his ass>has the gall to call anyone else homo
>>65137630It's an interceptor drone, likely for local defence. It doesn't need long range or loiter times.
Why make it a low-wing, sloped "cockpit" design like a trainer jet when it doesn't have landing gear or pilots?
>>65138914Possibly for better aerodynamics, so they can use a relatively low-power engine.
>>65136998>Personally, I like her sleek complexion.that kind of sleekness will just make it glow on radar. Look at all those perfectly round surfaces.
>>65139241>glow on radar.I don't think they care.
>>65139241>that kind of sleekness will just make it glow on radarIt's an interceptor, so the only radar is friendly and knowing where the interceptor is in the sky isn't a bad thing.
>>65137322Because it's meant to go harder and deeper into Russia?
