Video evidence.

Wormbusters pilots from the 414th “Madyar Birds” Brigade shot down an unusual Russian drone named “Prince Vladimir Svyatoslavich.” A video of the shootdown was posted on the brigade’s Facebook page.

“What was that? Probably a UFO! Out of nowhere… Wait, no—it actually crashed,” the post reads.

According to “Military,” the pilots managed to shoot down a relatively new Russian attack drone with a distinctive ring-shaped wing around its fuselage. This drone was developed by the Russian research and production center “Ushkuynik.”

The publication reported that the “KVS” is built on a 10-inch frame and was designed to carry out strikes at medium ranges. The ring-shaped wing is designed to combine vertical takeoff with more fuel-efficient horizontal flight.

The drone was developed by the Russian research and production center “Ushkuynik.” According to “Military,” the KVS is built on a 10-inch frame and was designed to carry out strikes at medium ranges. The ring-shaped wing is intended to combine vertical takeoff with more fuel-efficient horizontal flight.

Additional lift is generated by the downward airflow effect as air passes through the wing’s closed contour. This effect increases as the angle of attack increases.

The drone’s flight range is approximately 50 kilometers. Its payload capacity is comparable to that of the “Prince Vandal of Novgorod” drone, meaning the warhead weighs up to 3 kilograms.
