It is comparable to the Bayraktar UAV in terms of combat capabilities, but its smaller size makes it relatively expensive (550 thousand euros). It can also communicate through relay stations rather than directly, which increases its range.
The Russian military shot down the drone using a portable air defense system. Crashing the drone into a swampy area allowed serious damage to be avoided and important components to be salvaged. These components will likely be analyzed to provide information for further development of Russian defense technologies. In addition, the technical data obtained will help in the development of electronic warfare systems against such UAVs in the future.
