Ukraine's Ratel Robotics unveils seven-drone family including fibre-optic FPV models

Published 6 November 2026

Ukrainian startup Ratel Robotics has revealed a seven-platform lineup covering strike, ISR and FPV roles. The heaviest airframe, Black Stork, carries up to 10 kg for 50 minutes; the Owl A strike variant takes a 5 kg payload while the Owl R ISR drone mounts a 30× optical zoom camera. The FPV tier includes models controlled over fibre-optic cable rather than radio — specifically to reduce vulnerability to electronic warfare — with claimed ranges reaching 30 km.
