Detection
Acoustic (50-200 Hz engine) + LTE/RFD900x correlation
Threat: Saturation attacks, low radar cross-section, RF-silent terminal dive

Long-Range Strike (Autonomous)

AQ-400, Bober, Morok

Ukrainian long-range autonomous strike drones. Minimal or no RF emissions by design — GPS/INS navigation.
