Description
The KUB-BLA, also known as KYB, Kamikaze drone or Cube in English, is a strike drone developed by the Kalashnikov Concern to take out targets of opportunity by self exploding in close proximity. The propeller powered unmanned air vehicle (UAV) has been designed to fly at an airspeed of 80 to 130 kilometers per hour for about 30 minutes carrying a 3 kilogram explosive payload. Besides, the strike drone represents a difficult target for modern air defenses due to its small size. The drone system was tested in Syria between 2015 and 2018. The KYB was introduced at the IDEX exhibition in the United Arab Emirates in February 2019.
