SKY.HUNTER

SKY.HUNTER is a combat reconnaissance-and-strike unmanned helicopter built by Indela UAV (KB INDELA) of Belarus, the largest of the manufacturer's named helicopter-type UAVs short of its heavy-lift transport platform.

Overview

SKY.HUNTER sits in Indela UAV's unmanned-helicopter family alongside the smaller EYE SKY and BUR, and below the 2,500 kg-class AIR TRUCK 2500 transport platform. The manufacturer markets it as a combat reconnaissance and strike aircraft rather than a pure sensor carrier, a role step up from EYE SKY's reconnaissance, surveillance and target-designation role.

Design and capabilities

Indela UAV's product listing gives SKY.HUNTER a maximum take-off weight of about 700 kg, a payload of up to 200 kg, a fuel reserve of about 180 litres, a main-rotor diameter of about 7 m, and an endurance of 3 to 5 hours. As with Indela UAV's other named helicopters, it carries a gyro-stabilized electro-optical/infrared payload. The manufacturer has not published dimensions, speed, range or engine details for SKY.HUNTER beyond these figures.
