History
Unveiled in 2022, the Beaver hit Moscow for the first time in May 2023 and is regarded as Ukraine's answer to Iran's Shahed drones.
The UJ-26 Beaver is Ukraine's flagship long-range one-way attack drone: developed by SPE UkrJet under the 'Army of Drones' programme, it embodies Kyiv's answer to Iran-supplied Shahed-136 kamikaze drones.
From the 'long-range drone war' SEO angle, the Beaver became famous in 2023 for strikes on Moscow, Pskov airport (destruction of Il-76 transports) and Russian refineries hundreds of kilometres from the border.
