The rare Russian UAV also has a flight range of up to 120 km and can remain airborne for up to 90 minutes. Klin's maximum speed is up to 120 km/h, according to its manufacturer.

Quote from Flash: "Pay attention to the very cool modern battery using the new Li-AFB technology."

Background:

The Russians unveiled Klin at an exhibition in Russia in October 2025. At the time, it was explained that the UAV is equipped with artificial intelligence for target detection.
Ukrainska Pravda reported earlier that a rare Russian Klin drone had been shot down by the General Cherry AIR, a Ukrainian-made interceptor drone.
