Ukraine after the invasion by Russia. Members of the national armed forces have ‘introduced’ their fundamental ‘Morrigan’ drone.
It is a medium range drone and secret technology that works not so much on the front line but behind, in the rear of the limits of the southern front, with the objective of attacking a key Russian logistics line, the R-280.
The images released by the 412th Nemesis Brigadebelonging to the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces, represent the first snapshots of the Morrigan in operation.
They correspond to moments prior to launch. The video shows the Morrigan preparing for its imminent mission on what appears to be a platform with rails or a catapult-type system, options that would allow it take off without the need for a landing stripthus multiplying your options to provide service in practically any scenario, .
As detailed by the military body, it is a nationally manufactured, fixed-wing drone, equipped with a single propeller motor in its nose, about 1.5 meters long and with swept wings plus two tail fins. A design intended “to operate behind enemy lines”they detail.
“With the manufacturer’s permission, we raise the curtain: What kind of secret drone is this?” they wrote, referring to the Morrigan as your medium range “secret weapon”the 412th Brigade ironically said in a statement.
Any novelty is little in the current context of a war that has changed its own dynamics. As detailed by senior military commanders, even battles with drones have been now become before launching unmanned aircraft against enemy interests, both on the front and in other more remote positions.
