🇺🇦 In #Ukraine, a vertical take-off #UAV was spotted. Presumably this is a British-American loitering ammunition #PHOLOS
Ukrops receive unidentifiable loitering munitions from the US. This system seems to be very close in capability to the Israeli Spike which Israel banned the Ukrainians from obtaining. While it does not look identical to this weapon, it’s about a 90% match to the British/American developed PHOLOS VTOL. It can loiter in the air for about 45 minutes and deliver pin point strikes with various payloads after it identifies its target. It’s effectiveness remains a mystery as there are no public examples of its capability.Â
Russia developed a system like this in about 2016 as well, it was unveiled in 2020 and used in Syria.
