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 portable electric reconnaissance aircraft with hand launch and automatic belly landing. The current detailed product table differs materially from older overview figures.

The current detail page lists up to 3.5 hours with full payload and a 45 km link, while the manufacturer’s general catalogue still shows two hours and 35 km. This entry identifies the newer detailed-page baseline rather than silently combining versions. Listed military customers and claimed field experience remain supplier evidence.

Sourced specifications

Figures apply to the named configuration. Maximum values are not guaranteed operating performance.
