Drone Spec Catalog · Serhii's battalion
Serhii's Drone Fleet
The exact models he runs, fiber-optic, radio, and night bombers, researched into one spec sheet with photos, payloads, ranges and price ranges. Your requirements envelope, in his own list.
What this is
Serhii sent you the actual drones his unit flies. This turns that list into a working reference: what each one is, who makes it, what it carries, how far it goes, and what it costs, so you and Ilia can read a spec and instantly say "we can beat that" or "that is the bar."
Picture this: in Dnipro a commander says "we use Vyriy and Gromylo, mostly 10 and 13 inch." Instead of nodding blankly, you already know Gromylo is Wardrone Pro's 10-inch fiber drone that lifts 3.5 kg to 10 km, and you can talk payload, spool length and price like an insider. That is the difference this page buys you.
Read me on accuracy. These are Serhii's drones, not Dimas's (still pending). Photos are official manufacturer or Brave1 Market images where downloaded; where a maker's image was anti-bot blocked or unverifiable, the card says "no verified photo" and links the source rather than risk showing the wrong drone. Prices are 2025-2026, UAH with approximate USD at ~42 UAH/$. Fields marked "unconfirmed" were not public. Several detail pages on the Brave1 Market are gated to Delta-verified military users.
What is field-reported vs researched. The only first-hand facts here are the model names Serhii listed (fiber: Vyriy, Gromylo, Beshket, mostly 10/13 inch; radio: Heneral Chereshnya, F10, Rarog, Vyriy, Shrike, Kalibri, mostly 7/8/10/13 inch) and that he flies heavy bombers ("Baba Yaga" class) at night. Everything else - maker attributions, monthly volumes, payloads, ranges, prices, and the Pentagon "Drone Dominance" scores (99.3 / 72.9) - is a project-research estimate, not something Serhii or Dimas stated, and is not in the consolidated ground truth. Treat "General Cherry" as the maker of "Heneral Chereshnya" as a tentative inference to confirm. Serhii pointed to the Brave1 / Delta catalog for specs; cross-check every figure there before quoting it to a partner.

04 His two open questions: VTOL and anti-drone
Serhii replied "What's VTOL drones means?", so here is the answer to give him, plus a read on whether both are worth pursuing.
VTOL drones
VTOL = Vertical Take-Off and Landing. A hybrid that lifts off straight up like a copter (no runway), then tilts and flies efficiently on a wing like a plane. You get long range and endurance (1-3+ hours, tens to hundreds of km) without needing a launcher or open field.
Mostly used for reconnaissance / surveillance and long-range spotting, not close strike. For Serhii's unit (FPV strike + night bombers) it is a different layer, an "eyes" tool, useful if they lack persistent recon or a way to find targets deep behind the line.
Suggested WhatsApp reply to SerhiiVTOL = vertical take-off and landing: a drone that lifts off like a copter but then flies like a plane, so it needs no runway and gets long range and endurance. Mostly for recon and long-range spotting. Do you have a gap there, or is recon already well covered for you?
Anti-drone (counter-UAS)
Stopping the enemy's drones, two families: interceptor drones (fast FPVs that ram or detonate near enemy recon/strike drones and Shaheds) and EW/detection (jammers, RF sensors). Demand is exploding as both sides field millions of drones; interceptors are a named under-supplied segment.
For your venture it is a real adjacent market, several of Serhii's makers (General Cherry, Wild Hornets) already build interceptors. But it is a different engineering problem than improving strike FPVs. Treat it as a "phase 4" option, not the beachhead.
Worth asking SerhiiDo you also need help shooting down their drones (interceptors / counter-UAS), or is your priority purely your own strike and bomber drones right now?
What this means for your MVP (the requirements envelope)
Read across his whole fleet and the target spec writes itself. The drone you build with Ilia to beat what he flies should sit here:
Frame
10-13 inch fiber-optic FPV, the heart of his strike fleet (Vyriy, Gromylo, Beshket).
Payload
3-4 kg to match Gromylo (3.5) and Vyriy OPTO 10 (4); up to ~6-8 kg if you go 13-15 inch.
Range
15-20 km reliable, the real target is reliability at range, where his fiber currently fails (snaps short).
Price to beat
Fiber FPV ~$600-2,800 (Beshket sets the premium-night ceiling). Your margin lives above the commodity floor.
The differentiator
Verified cable + battery + QC report, not a new airframe. That is your wedge from the strategy.
Night option
He uses heavy bombers at night, a possible later tier (Ilia's 18-22in big-drone niche fits here).
Two strategic reads: first, several of his drones (F10, Shrike) reportedly won the Pentagon "Drone Dominance" trials (a research-sourced claim, worth verifying), so the quality bar is real and high, your edge has to be provable, not asserted. Second, his fiber range tiers (Beshket sold as 15/20/25 km, day vs night) confirm exactly the pain you target: range and reliability degrade, and buyers pay a big premium for the versions that hold up. That premium is your opening. See the strategy.
05 Questions to ask Serhii
The open items that turn this catalog into a real spec, drawn from his call and the strategic steer he gave you.
On the fleet & the build
- What fiber-optic payload (in kg) should the drone actually carry? (asked in chat, no number yet)
- Can you confirm exact specs / brand / website per model, or is the Brave1 catalog the source of truth?
- Which payload between 4 and 10 kg should the heavier "standby" drone target?
- Are VTOL drones and anti-drone (counter-UAS) drones useful to you - now that you have the VTOL definition?
On strategy & access
- Should we build for your actual tactical need (retranslator-class, ~30 km) rather than middle-strike, which your battalion does not field?
- What was really behind the failed auto-aim - the processor, or camera + software quality (your guess)?
- Which decision-makers / commanders and which charity or volunteer funds can you introduce, and when?
- For a donated test batch, what's the cleanest way to get 10-12 units into a position and capture honest feedback?
