Blue Bird 'Bebradron' fixed-wing kamikaze: 40 km radius, 9 kg payload, ELRS guidance

Published 26 July 2026

Russian UAV channels describe a Ukrainian fixed-wing kamikaze drone called ‘Bebradron’, manufactured by Blue Bird and assessed as broadly analogous to Russia’s own Molniya strike UAV. Reported specifications include 40 minutes endurance, a 40 km tactical radius, 80 km/h cruise and 150 km/h maximum speed, and a 9 kg payload capacity. The system launches from a compact pneumatic catapult and is currently radio-controlled over ELRS links in the 433–915 MHz band; terminal guidance is described as a planned future upgrade.
