ASU-1 Valkyrja

ASU-1 Valkyrja Story

ASU-1 Valkyrja is an unmanned aerial system developed for military and civilian purposes for day and night surveillance, aerial reconnaissance, video surveillance and artillery fire correction.

Valkyrja has an optional long-range encrypted digital telemetry data link and online analog video transmission of all types of payloads.

Currently, Valkyrja drones are provided as voluntary aid to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, National Guard and Special Forces. The idea of ??creating a fully autonomous, easy-to-operate and reliable drone was realized, and ideas for further improvements were proposed.
