Control And Mission Modes

El material publico de SAMJET describe un UAV electrico compacto de ataque basado en lanzamiento asistido por cohete, una estacion portatil de control terrestre y dos modos publicados de control de mision, en lugar de una unica configuracion fija de guiado.

Estacion de control reutilizable

El folleto oficial lista planificacion de mision, monitores dobles, control por joystick fisico, interruptor de seguridad, salida para monitor externo, hasta cuatro horas de autonomia de bateria y transmision de video de hasta 40 km para la version equipada con camara.

Rama con humano en el bucle

SAMJET-L usa una camara con zoom y control de inclinacion para que el operador pueda observar debajo de la aeronave y seguir controlando la direccion hasta el impacto.

Rama autonoma por coordenadas

SAMJET-M se presenta como una configuracion de modo misil sin enlace de datos de larga distancia ni camara frontal, que usa coordenadas del objetivo y un plan de vuelo para alcanzar blancos mediante guiado GPS autonomo.

Variants

El folleto de Samel-90 usa SAMJET-L y SAMJET-M para dos configuraciones de modo de control de la misma familia compacta de municiones merodeadoras electricas.

VariantConfigurationDesignation notes
SAMJET-LVersion con camara y enlace de datos

La version L usa una camara con zoom y control de inclinacion, ademas de un enlace de video, para que el operador pueda vigilar el area inferior y dirigir durante el ataque terminal.

SAMJET-MModo misil de ataque a coordenadas

La version M omite el enlace de datos de larga distancia y la camara frontal; el operador introduce coordenadas del objetivo y un plan de vuelo mediante la misma estacion de control terrestre.

QinetiQ markets the Jet 80 and Jet 80+ as land- and sea-launchable targets with plug-in augmentation, optional payloads, digital navigation and telemetry, and parachute recovery; Ukraine-war reporting in 2024 identified a Banshee Jet 80+/closely related airframe in Ukrainian one-way attack drone use, and IISS later listed the Banshee Jet 80+ in Ukraine's selected one-way-attack UAV inventory.
Garpiya-A1, Long-range one-way attack UAV / loitering munition, Aircraft & UAVsAircraft & UAVsGarpiya-A1Long-range one-way attack UAV / loitering munitionGarpiya-A1 is a Russian long-range one-way attack UAV attributed in Reuters reporting to Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant (IEMZ) Kupol and a Chinese engine/component supply chain. Public reporting describes it as Shahed-like, powered by Xiamen Limbach L-550E engines, produced from 2023, and used by Russian forces in Ukraine; U.S. and EU sanctions material plus Reuters-syndicated reporting place it inside a wider production network that kept expanding after sanctions.
V2U, Autonomous loitering munition, Aircraft & UAVsAircraft & UAVsV2UAutonomous loitering munitionV2U is a Russian electric loitering munition documented by Ukraine's Defence Intelligence during the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War. Public intelligence material describes a small catapult-launched UAV with a 1.2 m wingspan, LTE control option, computer-vision-assisted navigation, and onboard AI hardware that may allow automatic target detection and engagement when communications or satellite navigation are degraded; the full system manufacturer remains publicly unidentified.
Shahed-101, Small one-way attack UAV / loitering munition, Aircraft & UAVsAircraft & UAVsShahed-101Small one-way attack UAV / loitering munitionThe Shahed-101 is a smaller Iranian one-way attack UAV in the wider Shahed loitering-munition family, publicly documented through recovered Iraqi material, Hezbollah launches toward Israel, Houthi use in Yemen, and Russian fielding against Ukraine. Open sources describe piston and electric-motor configurations, a compact warhead, satellite/inertial navigation, and a battlefield-to-mid-range strike role below the larger Shahed-131 and Shahed-136 classes. June 2025 Israel-Iran debris records identify a Shahed-101/107 series, but do not isolate the Shahed-101 submodel.
Garpiya-3, Long-range one-way attack UAV / loitering munition, Aircraft & UAVsAircraft & UAVsGarpiya-3Long-range one-way attack UAV / loitering munitionGarpiya-3 is the reported G3 model in Russia's Garpiya family of long-range one-way attack UAVs tied to IEMZ Kupol and a China-based supplier network. Reuters reporting describes the G3 as developed and flight-tested in China, with approximately 2,000 km range and 50 kg payload figures. Official sanctions material and later reporting place it inside a broader Garpiya production chain supporting Russian strikes against Ukraine, while confirmed public evidence remains stronger for the family than for recovered G3 examples.
Ratel S, Uncrewed ground vehicle / remote-mining and explosive-delivery robot, Support EquipmentSupport EquipmentRatel SUncrewed ground vehicle / remote-mining and explosive-delivery robotRatel S is a Ukrainian uncrewed ground vehicle built for remote mining, explosive delivery, observation, and short-range ground attack missions. Developed in Ukraine's wartime robotics ecosystem and publicized through the Brave1 defense-tech cluster, it gives Ukrainian operators a small wheeled platform that can move an explosive or mine payload toward Russian positions while reducing direct exposure; Ukrainian reporting has tied it to bridge, position, and underground-passage attacks in Donetsk Oblast.
