The drone can reach a speed of 130 km/h and penetrate up to 80 km into enemy territory. Its advanced optics, featuring 120x zoom, enable precise monitoring, keeping the enemy effectively "within arm's reach." According to the Come Back Alive Foundation, this reinforcement was made possible thanks to a contribution of UAH 9,281,421 from NPC Ukrenergo.

The Shark multifunctional unmanned aerial vehicle system is designed for a wide range of missions. It is with these drones that the Ukrainian military detects Russian equipment and positions, and then targets them with long-range weapons.
