Ukraine's Defence Intelligence reveals components of Russia's new AI-powered Klin drone with speed of 300 km/h

Defence Intelligence of Ukraine has released an interactive 3D model of the Klin, a new Russian loitering munition, along with data on its main parts and components.

Details: DIU reports that the drone, manufactured by Roboavia, has a delta-wing fuselage measuring 1.6 metres in length and a wingspan of 1.9 metres. It is equipped with a Scorpion F-4225-500KV V2 brushless electric motor (made in the PRC), powered by two lightweight 6S Li-AFB batteries.

Quote from DIU: "The Klin's key feature is its machine vision system, which enables automatic target acquisition using an NVIDIA Jetson TX2 computer module (USA)."

More details: DIU said similar solutions have previously been identified in other Russian drones: the V2U, Lancet, Zala and the Russo-Iranian Geran-2 MS series.

The Klin uses a Cube Orange (Australia) flight controller and a Holybro F9P (PRC) navigation module with RTK mode for enhanced accuracy. Communication is handled via a LoRa modem based on the Ra-01H radio module from Ai-Thinker (PRC).

Other UAV circuit boards contain components from American, Swiss, Taiwanese and South Korean manufacturers, DIU said.

DIU adds that the Klin can carry a high-explosive anti-tank or high-explosive warhead weighing up to 5 kg.

"Another distinctive feature of this UAV is its advanced front control surface, which enables the approach to a target to be adjusted at different angles and speeds," the intelligence agency said.

The Russians claim that its maximum speed during the approach to a target is 300 km/h.

Quote from DIU: "The enemy also claims to have naval and ground-based variants. In the naval version, the remote detonation system is radar-based, whilst in the land-based version it is lidar-based."

Background:

  • Serhii "Flash" Beskrestnov, an adviser to Ukraine's defence minister, previously revealed the components of a Russian Klin drone which was shot down by Ukrainian defence forces.
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.
