Ukrainian developers have presented the concept of an attack drone that can, among other things, hit air targets. In the presentation video, the device hits the Orion UAV rocket.

The project of the ACE ONE drone from the ACE company can be called without exaggeration the most ambitious development of the Ukrainian defense industry. The device should act not only as an attack UAV, but also play the role of an unmanned "fighter". In the [...] video shown, he hits the famous Orion UAV with a rocket. Another frame shows the defeat of the main battle tank T-90.

In addition to the video, the creators have prepared a full-size layout. The place of the official presentation was chosen for the exhibition "Zbroya ta Bezpeka" ("Weapons and Security").

ACE ONE / ©defence-ua.com The UAV will receive stealth technology and will be able to carry weapons weighing up to one ton in the internal compartments. The wingspan of the device is 11 meters, the length is eight meters.

The drone has a combat radius of 1500 kilometers, the maximum flight altitude is 13.5 kilometers. The device will receive one turbojet engine and will be able to reach a maximum speed of M=0.95. The price of a "swarm" of such UAVs (it is not entirely clear how many devices are included in it), as well as a control complex, will be 12-13 million dollars.

ACE ONE can be considered a conditional analogue of the now famous "Hunter" - a Russian heavy attack UAV developed by the company"Sukhoi". It made its first flight on August 3, 2019.

As far as we can judge, now there is only one copy (prototype) of this device, but soon Russia can build several more such UAVs. In August 2020, the head of the United Aircraft Corporation, Yuri Slyusar, said that the Russian Defense Ministry will begin to receive serial "Hunters" from 2024.

At different times, different tasks were called for this UAV. He was seen as a scout, and a strike vehicle, and an unmanned wingman, and even an interceptor.

In recent years, there has been talk of a link between the Hunter and the fifth-generation Su-57 fighter. As it became known recently, one such aircraft will be able to control four "Hunters". "Now we are working on the possibility of controlling several attack drones from the Su-57 cockpit. It is assumed that the fighter will lead from two to four "Hunters", " said a source in the aircraft industry.

Indirectly, this is confirmed by the video, which [...] shows the joint flight of the "Hunter" and the Su-57. It is also worth noting that earlier the Aerospace Forces have already received the first production fighter of the fifth generation.
