Death for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation: In the Czech Republic, the drones of Leleka-LR and "Mace" (photo) are massively produced for Ukraine

Leleka-lr reconnaissance drones fly to the rear of the invaders up to 90 kilometers, and the Dace mace may destroy Russian armored vehicles, trenches and live power. In the spring of 2024, the Czech-Ukrainian company UAC launched in the city of Colin (Czech Republic) serial production of reconnaissance drones Leleka-LR and bargage ammunition "Bulava" for the Defense Forces of Ukraine. About it writes the Czech portal E15.

It is reported that the "mace" can be armed with a cumulative charge that pierces the armor up to 400 millimeters thick, or a fragmentary charge for the destruction of trenches or command points. For the first time, the drone was presented at the EuroSatory 2024 in Paris. According to the developers, the "mace" takes off from the catapult and can be in the air for up to 50 minutes, accelerating up to 100 km/h. The Leleka-LR unmanned complex was presented in November last year.

According to UAC, the UAV has passed combat tests in Ukraine, can fly 90 kilometers in the rear of the enemy, stay in the air for up to 4 hours and accelerate up to 32 m/s. The drone is also equipped with suppression protection systems, in particular, CRP-antennas (Controlled Reception Antennnas). According to the edition, "Colin UAC" is a subsidiary of the Ukrainian company of the same name, based in the Dnieper.

About eighty people work on the creation of drones in the knee, most of whom are Ukrainians. The company constantly adapts its products to the needs of the Ukrainian military and plans to produce hundreds of UAV annually. "In November, we started a test exploitation, in April - serial production. It is literally military production, our exclusive customer is the Ukrainian army," - said the executive director of OAC Pavel Bulant.

According to Pavel Bulant, UAC is almost completely autonomous and works with a minimal number of subcontractors, buying electric motors and internal combustion engines for drones. Motherboards and entire electronic blocks are collected at the company. There is also a 3D printing and processing on the CNC-fuselaces and wings of future drones. Finished products are stored in disassembled form in a large hall.

"Currently, the delivery of unmanned vehicles from the Czech Republic to Ukraine is an absolute priority," said UAC Stefan Fule's leadership. We will remind, the expert Bild on the analysis of open data Julian Repke noted that UAV "mace" from UAC is called the analogue of the Russian "lancet" because of a similar design and functionality.
