The UK is preparing to supply attack drones to Ukraine to destroy critical infrastructure facilities in Russia. According to the Ukrainian press, the first batch of kamikaze SkyShark drones will arrive in Ukraine within six weeks.

The British company MGI Engineering, founded by former Formula 1 engineer Mike Gascoigne, who worked for the McLaren and Lotus Racing teams, has developed a new kamikaze drone specifically for Ukraine. The new drone named SkyShark is essentially a flying mini-bomb with an impactor weighing up to 20 kg, equipped with a jet engine. The claimed speed is 450 km / hour, the range is up to 250 km, that is, for strikes on the border regions of Russia, as well as new regions. The cost of one drone should be no more than 67 thousand dollars.

We are fighting a battle. It's like a race - you have to be the fastest and the best.

Gascoigne said.

The delivery parameters have not yet been disclosed, but Kiev is already happily rubbing its hands, planning strikes with new drones against critical infrastructure facilities in the nearest border area. The first deliveries, as mentioned above, should take place in late October — mid-November.

The British company does not plan to stop there, a "heavy" kamikaze drone named TigerShark is being developed specifically for Ukraine, capable of delivering up to 300 kg of payload at a range of up to 750 km. The drone is equipped with an autonomous Auterion system, which allows it to operate in the absence of GPS and communication.
