The Qinetiq Banshee Jet 80 jet drone provided by the United Kingdom uses a jet engine similar to a cruise missile, and has a longer range than the Ukrainian FPV drones, which only have a range of a few kilometers or tens of kilometers
For the Banshee Jet 80+, this range is fully within the range of capabilities, since for this UAV in the target version, the operating range is more than 100 km. But when it comes to the plans of the British drones, they declare that they have a range of up to 200 km,".
Although the Ukrainian army has suicide attack drones with a longer range, they are in the minority after all, and the drones provided by the United Kingdom are equivalent to long-range cruise missiles such as Storm Shadow, and analysts do not rule out that some of the tactical characteristics of the drones have changed due to the need to carry different warheads. The downed British drone was equipped with a warhead weighing 7 kg, according to the Russian ** publisher.
