The Command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' Unmanned Systems confirmed on January 31 the use of a long-range UAV capable of carrying a 250-kilogram bomb and reaching distances of up to 2,000 kilometers with the ability to return.

According to the Command, the UAVs have been utilized to strike critical Russian targets behind enemy lines. The 14th Separate UAV Regiment has been conducting these operations for over a year, successfully reaching targets hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away.

“Russian propaganda constantly claims to have ‘downed’ such aircraft, but explosions at military-industrial complex facilities, oil refineries, and ammunition depots tell a different story,” said the Command.

The Command further emphasized that while many of their UAV operations remain classified, they continue to carry out crucial strikes on strategic military infrastructure.

Previously, it was reported that Ukrainian E-300 drones, carrying FAB-250 bombs, were spotted during strikes on Russia’s Bryansk.
