The Shark-M unmanned aerial vehicle, which is capable of deep reconnaissance and functions as a signal repeater for strike drones, was recently unveiled by the Ukrainian business Ukrspecsystems. The Shark-M has the same 3.4-meter (11-foot) wingspan as its predecessor, the Shark-D, but its increased communications range of up to 180 kilometers (111 miles) makes it more well-suited for long-distance operations. The Shark-M is capable of flying for up to seven hours thanks to batteries that have 170% more capacity than previous unmanned aerial vehicle models, allowing it to function in a variety of weather conditions during the day and at night.
