Eighteen “Evanger” long range Unmanned Aerial Vehicle complexes to three units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The “Unite with Ukraine” initiative of the Ukrainian World Congress (UWC) has successfully procured and delivered eighteen (18) “Evanger” long range Unmanned Aerial Vehicle complexes to three units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The units are the 411th Unmanned Aviation Battalion “Hawks” of the Territorial Defense Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the 109th Brigade of the Territorial Defense Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the 22nd Separate Mechanised Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Ukrainian-manufactured UAV bomber systems, designed to eliminate enemy armored equipment and positions from the air, by day or by night, will equip these three unmanned aerial strike units.

Designed for autonomous operation, the Evanger UAV is able to take off from the hands of the crew member and to land softly with a parachute system. The craft is powered by a 22.2v, 30000mAh battery and utilizes GPS tracking capabilities and a ground control system. The Evanger's maximum range is 80 km, with a tactical radius of 40 km, and it can fly for up to 80 minutes. Thanks to its wingspan of 2430 mm, the drone can reach a maximum altitude of 1500 m and attain a top speed of 38 meters per second. It is equipped with the Runcam Thumb Pro W 4K camera system, which can be deployed in under 10 minutes and carry a payload of up to 4 kg.

The project's total value is $263,400.00 USD or 10.1 million UAH.

"The Ukrainian World Congress and the global Ukrainian diaspora continue to invest in the independence of Ukraine," remarked Andrew Potichnyj, the Director of the "Unite with Ukraine" initiative at the Ukrainian World Congress.

The main goal of the UWC is to enhance Ukraine's battlefield capabilities using all available resources. Drones and UAVs have become essential assets in Ukraine's arsenal. The future of warfare is unmanned and autonomous: Ukraine is at the forefront of this innovative field. By adding these 18 "Evanger" new bombers Ukraine's ability to strike enemy targets from the sky will be greatly bolstered.
