The Unmanned Systems Forces are advancing their technological edge by integrating the latest unmanned aerial systems into their operations. Training for operators of the V-Bat (MQ-35A) UAV, a cutting-edge reconnaissance and strike drone manufactured in the United States, has commenced at one of Ukraine’s training centers.
The V-Bat (MQ-35A) drone stands out due to its versatility and advanced capabilities. A key advantage is its vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) ability, which eliminates the need for a runway, requiring only a minimal 4×4 meter space for deployment. This makes it highly adaptable for diverse battlefield environments.

With a range of up to 150 km and a maximum flight altitude of 6 km, the V-Bat drone enables deep reconnaissance and intelligence-gathering missions. Additionally, its 10-hour flight endurance ensures prolonged operational effectiveness.
Equipped with high-precision surveillance technology, including a laser-guided camera and an optical zoom camera with 320x magnification, the V-Bat UAV provides critical intelligence for Ukrainian forces. Its GPS-independent navigation enhances resilience against electronic warfare measures. Moreover, its strike capability, allowing it to carry a drone or even a missile, further expands its battlefield utility.
With these features, the V-Bat drone reinforces Ukraine’s commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology for reconnaissance, surveillance, and precision strikes. As the Unmanned Systems Forces continue their modernization efforts, the integration of such advanced platforms strengthens Ukraine’s operational capabilities and battlefield effectiveness.
