Designed for medium-range operations, the Hara drone combines night vision, strike functionality, and anti-jamming features for modern battlefield conditions

Ukrainian defense sector continues to demonstrate rapid innovation in unmanned systems, with the introduction of the Hara strike-reconnaissance UAV. This platform is currently deployed by the Khyzhak Brigade, providing new capabilities for both surveillance and offensive operations.

According to available information, the Hara drone has a flight range of up to 50 kilometers, which makes it suitable for medium-range missions such as deep reconnaissance, target designation, and precision strikes.

The UAV is equipped with both daytime and night-vision cameras, allowing continuous operation regardless of weather or time of day. This feature is particularly valuable for tracking enemy movement, identifying logistics hubs, and coordinating artillery or strike missions under cover of darkness.

One of the most notable aspects of the Hara system is its adaptability in electronic warfare environments. Reports state that the drone can be fitted with trophy Kometa CRPA, captured from russian equipment. These Controlled Reception Pattern Antennas significantly increase resistance to GPS jamming and spoofing, a critical factor on today's battlefield where electronic warfare plays a decisive role.

By integrating such captured technology, Ukrainian developers are turning the enemy's own equipment against them. This not only boosts performance but also reduces reliance on imported components, reflecting a pragmatic approach to wartime innovation.

As Defense Express previously reported, a new investigation has revealed fresh evidence of China's indirect role in russia's war effort against Ukraine. Recently, a video surfaced online showing test footage from the Gerbera drone, featuring the A40 Pro camera model manufactured by Chinese company Viewpro.

The video was recorded during a camera test in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, within the Aotexing Science Park located in Nanshan District. This precise geolocation was verified by investigators of CyberBoroshno, who cross-checked the manufacturer's address from the official website with Baidu Maps.
