History
Unveiled in 2023, the UJ-25 Skyline is Ukraine's first series-produced jet-powered loitering munition and a qualitative step up from UkrJet's own piston-powered drones.
The UJ-25 Skyline is the first series-produced jet-powered loitering munition from Ukraine's industry: its turbojet allows speeds close to 400 km/h, making it a high-profile kamikaze drone for saturating Russian air defences.
The platform embodies Ukraine's transition from slow piston-driven drones to a new generation of low-cost cruise missiles, with an aerodynamic profile optimised for reduced radar signature.
