Evidence & current status
The cited public record documents military use or operator acceptance. Specifications still depend on the particular production version and mission configuration.
Role & programme
A Ukrainian long-range one-way aircraft identified in public research on the country’s drone industry and autonomous systems.
The March 2025 industry study attributes Lyutyi to Antonov within the Ukrainian state defence-industrial group. CSIS research separately discusses its use. Transliteration varies, so Lyutyi and Liutyi are indexed together. Neither source is a manufacturer-certified performance sheet. This profile keeps uncertain dimensions, range and mass explicit rather than combining estimates from several production versions. A later reported reusable derivative has its own provisional entry.
Sourced specifications
Figures apply to the named configuration. Maximum values are not guaranteed operating performance.
