As reported on Saturday by the Interfax agency, the Ukrainian company DeepStrikeTech has developed a new multi-role drone, Batjar, which can play various roles on the battlefield. It can be used as a decoy, as a bomber, or as a front-line kamikaze drone. Everything depends on the assigned task.

Thanks to its aerodynamic shape, developed based on Western documentation, the Batjar is characterised by high stability even during complex manoeuvres.

The Batjar drone is equipped with an advanced navigation system, which includes a CRPA anti-jamming antenna and an optical system. These technologies allow the drone to maintain its course even in challenging conditions of electronic warfare. In the event that optical navigation is not possible, the drone uses an inertial system with satellite correction, which provides reliability in various combat situations.

The Batjar drone weighs 60 kilograms, with 18 kilograms being the combat portion, making it relatively lightweight and easy to transport. It can be launched from a catapult or a vehicle without the need for additional equipment, which increases its mobility and flexibility in use.
