Evidence & current status
Status and performance are attributed to the supplier. They do not establish an independently audited fleet size or effectiveness rate.
Role & programme
A Ukrainian tactical reconnaissance family. DeViRo’s current Leleka page lists substantially improved endurance and route length compared with historical Leleka-100 literature.
The current manufacturer table is explicitly used here: up to five hours, an 80 km radius and a route of up to 340 km. These are three different measures and are not retroactively assigned to earlier aircraft. The National Bank’s Leleka-100 publication provides independent institutional identification of the established family.
