One of the standout features of the Heavy Shot drones is their resilience to electronic warfare, thanks to advanced GPS navigation systems. Additionally, these drones are equipped with an automatic return function, ensuring they safely return to base after engaging with the enemy.

It’s worth noting that the entire development and production process of these drones was carried out within Ukraine, courtesy of Gurzuf Defence, a domestic company specializing in defense technology.
