The new Ukrainian attack drone Backfire has passed the commission of the Ministry of Defense and is being prepared for operation. This was announced by the Minister of Digital Transformation Mikhail Fedorov.
— Backfire is an attack drone from Ukrainian developers who are part of the Brave1 defense cluster. The UAV flies up to 35 km behind enemy lines and helps hit Russian artillery, logistics hubs, enemy warehouses and command posts,” he wrote in his telegram.
Backfire: what is known about the Ukrainian UAV
An attack drone from Ukrainian developers entered the Brave1 defense cluster. Now Backfire is showing good results at the front. Over the past two months, the military has carried out at least 50 successful missions with its help.
Fedorov noted that the enemy constantly uses electronic warfare to counter the Defense Forces. Therefore, the creation by the developers of the Backfire attack drone, which is resistant to electronic warfare of Russian troops, is extremely important.

Backfire Features
The new Backfire attack drone is resistant to electronic warfare with a GPS antenna that is nearly impossible to jam. Also, due to its complete autonomy, occupiers cannot calculate the coordinates of the drone and its operators.
Backfire Specifications
The Backfire is an aircraft-type UAV with a large wingspan. Take-off weight – 14 kg. The drone is an attack drone and is capable of carrying up to 4 kg of payload (two 2 kg bombs). This can be not only a combat unit, but also attached parcels and the like.
The drone flies autonomously along a route predetermined by the operator. As the developers note, this can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. The disadvantage is that during the flight it is no longer possible to change the specified parameters. The drone hits targets that were set in advance. The advantage is that it has no radio communications, so it is completely invisible to electronic intelligence.
The development team is already preparing for mass production of UAVs. This means that the state will officially be able to purchase these drones.
