Leleka-100

Also known as: Leleka 100, Лелека 100, DeViRo Leleka-100

Leleka-100 is a Ukrainian DeViRo reconnaissance aircraft. Ukraine’s defence intelligence service records military use before formal acceptance. Ukrspecexport’s basic export configuration has a separate route length and radio-link range. These are different quantities.[1][2][3]

Size in everyday terms

One scale. Different machines.

No scaled drawing is provided for this configuration. See the sourced dimensions and their limitations.

Leleka-100 · Leleka-100 · UMEX 2022 basic configuration; mass is basic takeoff weight · Body length[1] · Wingspan[1]

Human height is an illustrative 1.8 m; bus length an illustrative 12 m. Car length uses the cited MINI specification. Vehicle heights and drone side contours are schematic. Top views preserve published length and span; an absent dimension is never guessed.

One car length here is 3.821 m: MINI Cooper 3 door, March 2020 specification.

Where this type appears

Counts follow model/family links in the archive. A general register link does not identify a model.

Family & configurations

Leleka-100

No sourced family relationship recorded in this edition. Similar roles do not establish a common design.

Form, sound & identification limits

  • The export presentation labels route length separately from radio-link reach. The link figure does not establish a flight radius. “Route length basic modification”[1]

Shape or sound alone cannot identify a drone. Follow local public-safety alerts; do not approach wreckage.

No licensed, model-attested recording is available in our sound library.

What does it cost?

Published USD figures use different price bases and years. Airframes, export packages and support are not equivalent. These are not current offers or verified production costs.
