DRONELEDGER / Press factsheet
Liutyi (An-196)
A compact selection from this profile, with sources and limits. Other configurations and additional measurements remain in the full profile.
A Ukrainian long-range one-way attack aircraft. Original interviews describe its development and early configurations; unnamed sources and later upgrades prevent a single universal specification.[1]
Public-source profile. Performance claims are attributed; type links do not verify an incident identification.
Form, sound & identification limits
- The report describes a body over four metres long and a span of almost seven metres. These approximate/open dimensions do not justify a closed, measured outline.[1]
- The interviewed participants are unnamed. The policy brief supplies procurement context, not an independent flight test or proof of a specific incident.[1][2]
Shape or sound alone cannot identify a drone. Follow local public-safety alerts; do not approach wreckage.
