Evidence & current status
Identification and specification are attributed to Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence. Captured-airframe evidence is stronger than a promotional claim, but one specimen does not establish every production variant or an independently verified fleet size.
Role & programme
Forpost-R is a Russian unmanned-aircraft programme associated with UZGA in the public intelligence record.
The current GUR production-network record attributes Forpost and Altair/Altius work to UZGA. A separate recovered-component record names Forpost-R. That supports programme identification and use context, but not a configuration-matched performance table. Earlier Forpost and the R variant must remain distinguishable.
