Ukrainian EQUIVALENT of Russian "MOLNIYA": from CONSTRUCTION to LAUNCH #shorts

Added: 2026-06-02

[00:00:00]This is where we actually assemble our bliss gavkas. We store them here. It's basically a room warehouse where the finished air frames are kept. The guys attach the wings, configure them to their setup, and we store them here.

[00:00:13]It's kind of an improvised warehouse.

[00:00:15]>> The bliss gavka drone itself, basically it's an analog, our answer, roughly speaking, to the Russian Molniya.

[00:00:21]>> Yeah, symmetrically, yes. It's basically reverse engineering.

[00:00:25]>> Is there anything we changed in it?

[00:00:27]>> We're working on it. The manufacturer is improving the radio link and video transmission. That's basically the only upgrade so far.

[00:00:36]>> What are the guys doing here right now?

[00:00:38]>> This is our balancing rig where the main frame is mounted. You can see those two aluminum tubes there. That's really the basic material setup.

[00:00:48]Two aluminum tubes, plywood, and foam, and that's the drone itself. But, that's just what it looks like at first glance.

[00:00:54]The most expensive part is still the electronics, the flight controller and the motors. It costs about 36,000 grivnias.

[00:01:02]That's a very reasonable price for what it does, range, payload. It carries 8 kg, an anti-tank mine.

[00:01:11]>> So, basically, it costs like two FPVs.

[00:01:14]But, what's the effective range?

[00:01:16]>> We operate at 30 to 40 km. That's the specialty of our unit. Our target profile is 30 to 40. Other crews can push it up to 60 km. Right now, the guys are balancing it, setting it up, attaching the wings.

[00:01:32]As you can see, this is the frame, the tail section, these parts here, the wings come separately. They're assembling everything now, fixing it, balancing it, mounting the warhead and the battery at the back. It's balanced, so it flies stable and level. Then, it's programmed. The flight controller is tuned to our frequency, and at that point, the aircraft is ready for combat.

[00:01:57]>> We can send them all to a Cops on concert.

[00:02:00]They love Cops on.

[00:02:01]>> Fritz, set it up.
