UCAV Punisher is a multifunctional unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV),[1][2] which was developed in 2016 by Ukrainian combat veterans. Since 2019,[3][4][5] the system has been supplied to the Ukrainian Armed Forces partially funded by individuals.[6] UCAV Punisher[7] has been officially contracted by the Ukrainian Armed Forces[8] from 18.08.2023.
The UCAV Punisher can be used for medical and rescue purposes, as well as for reconnaissance and combat missions behind enemy lines. UCAV Punisher[9] was designed to perform such tasks as aerial reconnaissance, direct action special operations, logistics and support for special operations,[10] search and rescue, and psychological operations.[11]
