The Unmanned Systems Forces demonstrated the training and use of a heavy drone based on a civilian aircraft, Project Cessna.

Footage of this drone was released in the official video of the Unmanned Systems Forces.

The drone is positioned as a carrier of high-explosive aircraft bombs weighing 250 kg and can be used as a kamikaze drone or an unmanned bomber.

In both cases, the aircraft has the same bomb load. In the first case, it hits the target by direct ramming, while in the second case, it carries out a targeted bomb drop.

A video released by the Unmanned Systems Force captures a drone being used as a bomber. An optoelectronic station under the aircraft is presumably used to accurately drop bombs.

As for the flight range, it varies depending on the task. For example, in the role of a bomber, the aircraft has a combat radius of up to 600 km, as it has to return to the base after completing the mission.

On the other hand, the kamikaze drone version with a suspended bomb has an impressive range of up to 2,200 km, which allows it to hit targets deep in the territory of the Russian Federation.

Ukrainian defense forces notably already used drones of this type to strike targets at long distances, including barracks in Chechnya.

Then, according to Russian media, drones attacked the military infrastructure of the armed forces of the Republic of Chechnya, including the Akhmat-Grozny riot police base.

The territory of the 2nd Special Police Regiment and a military base from which personnel were sent to Ukraine were also attacked.

Militarnyi previously reported that Ukrainian engineers had turned a light civilian airplane into a heavy long-range kamikaze drone.

At that time, Bild reported that Ukrainian specialists were able to transform a civilian light aircraft into a deadly weapon capable of carrying a large warhead and having a flight range of over 1000 km.
