Best Ukrainian developments that change the course of war

I finally got to the specifications of the two most excellent Ukrainian developments that changed the course of hostilities!

1. Ukrainian (already known) kamikaze marine drone

2. Aviation combat drone Sokil-300 from LUCH design bureau

So,

A marine drone:

- Cost - 10 million UAH ($250 thousand),

- range - up to 400 km,

- range - up to 800 km,

- warhead - up to 200 kg,

- speed - up to 80 km/h.

For comparison:

- high-speed American coast guard boats, transferred to Ukraine, reach speeds of up to 54 km/h;

- the weight of the warhead of the Harpoon missile is 225 kilograms. The Ukrainian cruise missile Neptune has a warhead weighing 150 kilograms;

- The distance between the Black Sea and Sevastopol is "only" 292 km.

The drone is equipped with crypto protection, transmits up to three HD video streams and has three navigation methods - inertial navigation (autopilot), visual and satellite.

I have yet to find analogs in other armies.

In general, creating a mosquito fleet of drones is the most excellent and changes the picture of hostilities in the waters of our Black Sea!)

The Ukrainian drone is of higher quality and cheaper than the bayraktar. As we can see, Ukrainian gunsmiths can be very competitive

Sokil-300

- Designed for reconnaissance and strikes at the operational and tactical depth of the enemy,

- payload weight - 300 kg,

- armament - guided missiles of RK-2P, R2-M and RK-10 types with a range of up to 10 km,

- cost - about $2 million,

- flight range - 1300 -3300 km,

- Maximum speed - 580 km/h,

- Maximum flight duration - up to 26 hours

- Ceiling - 12 km.

The destruction zone includes Moscow, St. Petersburg, Rostov, Grozny and even Perm in the Urals!

For comparison Bayraktar TB2:

- cost - from $1 million to $5 million,

- cargo capacity - 55 kg,

- range - up to 300 km,

- maximum speed - 222 km/h,

- ceiling - 8.2 km,

- autonomy - 24 hours.

Therefore, the Ukrainian drone is of higher quality and cheaper than the bayraktar.

As we can see, Ukrainian gunsmiths can be very competitive.

The question is in the system of ordering and competition.

Imagine that Ukraine has, for example, 100 marine and 100 aviation drones.

How do the map of hostilities and our capabilities change?
