The occupiers are afraid of "Baba Yaga": the 63rd Separate Mechanized Brigade showed how they work against the enemy

The 63rd Separate Mechanized Brigade showcased the work of Ukrainian military with a powerful drone – a large strike hexacopter called Vampire, which the Russian army has already dubbed "Baba Yaga". This UAV has become a  nightmare for the enemy thanks to its ability to precisely and mercilessly destroy not just equipment, but also enemy manpower.

The relevant footage was demonstrated by the brigade’s press service. "Baba Yaga" is especially terrifying for the Russians, as it methodically strikes at night when its accuracy and effectiveness are at their peak.

During just the last two sorties, the pilots of the 63rd Brigade’s UAV destroyed 20 occupiers. They successfully "fried" Russian soldiers, causing significant losses on the battlefield.

"The Russians fear our Baba Yaga more than tanks. It methodically, precisely, and mercilessly destroys not only enemy equipment but also infantry. Just in the last two sorties, the pilots of the 63rd Brigade UAV fried 20 ’moskali’! Excellent work by our guys that deserves your like," – the message stated.

The large strike hexacopter Vampire, known in the Russian army as "Baba Yaga", is heavy and has limited speed, but this does not hinder its successful mission execution. During night flights, it can drop several shells on enemy equipment or arsenals. Its weight allows it to carry up to 15-20 kg of payload to a height of up to 400 m. At the same time, "Baba Yaga" can drop 4 shells and returns to base independently after the mission.

This drone, developed by the Ukrainian company SkyFall, has impressive characteristics. It can fly at a speed of up to 40 km/h with full load or 80 km/h without. The flight altitude reaches 400 m, and the range is up to 10 km.

The cost of this drone is about $20,000, making it extremely cost-effective in terms of expenditure and results. Typically, it can make 8-12 flights and destroy about 10 targets, including 3-5 pieces of equipment worth millions of dollars.
