The DF-3 'Gadyuka' drone, developed by DOFA-Tech, can reach speeds of up to 850 km/h and destroy 15-20 enemy UAVs in a single sortie. Unlike previous models, it does not ram targets but uses onboard automatic weapons. After completing its mission, the drone returns to the airfield for refueling and rearming, making it reusable. The drone was presented at the Drone Congress 2026 in St. Petersburg.
