Ratel Drones Bomber is a Ukrainian reusable strike UAV from Ratel Robotics built around a remote drop system for precision target engagement at medium range. The official page highlights Starlink Mini communications, combat-deployment-driven design choices, and a 20 kg takeoff weight with up to 30 minutes of endurance and 15 km of range.
Ratel Robotics lists the Bomber in its Ukrainian wartime UAV catalog as a reusable medium-range strike UAV with a remote drop system and says the design reflects combat-deployment experience; the cited public record does not identify a specific Bomber unit, sortie, or loss.
Role detailsThe official product page frames the Bomber around reusable drop strikes, satellite-backed control, and field-maintainable design choices.
| Feature | Source-backed takeaway |
|---|---|
| Mission profile | Reusable strike UAV for precision target engagement with a remote drop system. |
| Communications | Starlink Mini is listed as the communication system on the Bomber product page. |
| Design focus | Ratel says the UAV design reflects combat-deployment experience, weather resilience, ease of operation and maintenance, and mission adaptability. |
| Documented performance | Up to 20 kg takeoff weight, up to 30 minutes with recommended payload, and up to 15 km range. |
Ratel Robotics presents the Bomber as one member of a small Ratel UAV line alongside FPV strike and Scout reconnaissance drones.
| Variant | Configuration | Designation notes |
|---|---|---|
 | Kamikaze FPV UAV | Official Ratel catalog and product pages place the FPV model alongside the Bomber as a separate strike UAV rather than a drop-munition airframe. Sources: Ratel Robotics equipment catalog, Ratel Drones FPV product page |
 | Fiber-optic FPV UAV listing | Ratel's catalog includes the RD Optic 20 FPV product in the same UAV product group, with its own sparse product page and on-request pricing. Sources: Ratel Robotics equipment catalog, FPV RD Optic 20 product page |
 | Reconnaissance UAV | The Scout is the observation member of the Ratel drone line, with a stabilized optical-zoom camera and fire-adjustment mission described on its product page. Sources: Ratel Robotics equipment catalog, Ratel Drones Scout product page |
Ratel's public catalog separates the Bomber from FPV strike drones and the Scout reconnaissance model, so the Bomber page treats them as adjacent Ratel UAV family members rather than as variants of the same airframe.
| Catalog entry | Role | Documented distinction |
|---|---|---|
 | Drop-munition strike UAV | Remote drop system, Starlink Mini communications, 20 kg maximum takeoff weight, and up to 15 km range. |
| Kamikaze FPV UAV | Separate official FPV product page for target-strike missions using a combat payload. |
| Reconnaissance UAV | Stabilized optical-zoom reconnaissance and fire-adjustment role, with Starlink Mini communications on the Scout product page. |
| FPV UAV listing | Separate Ratel catalog entry with its own product page and on-request pricing, but limited public technical data. |
Ratel Robotics' public catalog lists the Bomber as a strike UAV with drop munitions and price on request, alongside FPV and Scout drone listings.

Public pricing is limited, so the catalog keeps the bomber's own price listing separate from broader company-level context.
| Context | What the source says | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Bomber listing | Price on request. | Model-specific catalog listing. |
| Ratel UGV line | Business Insider reported robot prices between $2,000 and $40,000 depending on size and function. | Company-level context, not a model-specific quote. |
