1. Another update to the Ukrainian drone threads. This photo gives a good view of the centre section of the drone. Generally, the construction & electronics are the same as seen previously.
2. This is an excellent view of the foam inserts that main shape of the wingโs leading edge. Also visible is how the aluminum spars join the fuselage box to the wing. It is a very simple but strong design.
3. The flight controller is a Pixhawk PX4 2.4.8 along with a GPS receiver & pitot. There is a battery pack & power management. Importantly, a wire is plugged into โtelemetryโ but unfortunately the receiver connector is hidden.
4. Here is a Pixhawk PX4 for reference. The controller, buzzer and breakout board are very similar to those in the drone.
5. A bit more is now known about this drone. One curious thing is a black box mounted on the fairing. This is not on previous drones. It is also directly in path of the dirty exhaust from the engine.
6. There is still the mystery box in the right wing that could be telemetry or a receiver but the wiring & location are a bit unusual. There is also the strange thick cable on the rear fuselage. If you liked this thread please comment & repost.
7. (ps) Because this drone carries two explosive, perhaps the detonating cord links these together. Also visible is a fancy electronic trigger.
