Obriy 10.6.0 introduces two new aircraft designed for different mission types: the Bullet FPV interceptor by General Cherry and the DARTS DualMot twin-engine strike UAV.

The release also brings performance improvements to anti-Shahed FPV interceptors, changes to fixed-wing arming logic, and an updated simulator startup video.

Bullet FPV Interceptor

The latest addition to Obriy is Bullet, an FPV interceptor developed by Ukrainian defence technology company General Cherry. Designed to engage aerial targets, the interceptor can reach a maximum horizontal speed of 310 km/h.

One of its distinctive features is a servo-controlled camera mounted directly in the nose of the drone. Bullet also features an unconventional wing configuration combining horizontal wings, an X-wing arrangement, and stabilisers.

An 800 g fragmentation warhead is recommended for interception missions.

In Obriy, Bullet is available with both day and night cameras, each offered in digital and analogue configurations. This allows operators to practise using the interceptor under different visibility conditions and with different video transmission systems.

DARTS: A Twin-Engine Aircraft for Extended Strike Missions

The second new addition is DARTS DualMot.

This stable twin-engine fixed-wing strike UAV has a cruising speed of 75 km/h, a flight endurance of up to 110 minutes, and a range of up to 120 km. Its maximum payload capacity is 8 kg.

Camera options include a daylight camera available in both digital and analogue configurations, as well as a thermal imaging camera with a resolution of 640 × 512.

Obriy also reproduces the aircraft's flight characteristics. With a 2.8 kg payload, DARTS maintains level flight at approximately 60% throttle, climbs at 70%, and descends at 50%.

In Angle mode, the aircraft responds rapidly to roll and pitch inputs, a characteristic operators need to consider when controlling the UAV and designing training scenarios.

DARTS uses an autolaunch procedure. To initiate the launch, the aircraft must be armed and the throttle set to 100%. After takeoff, a roll or pitch input switches the aircraft into Angle or Cruise mode, allowing it to respond immediately to roll, pitch, and throttle commands. If no input is provided before the autolaunch sequence ends, the controls return to neutral, potentially causing the aircraft to lose altitude and crash.

In the current version, battery consumption is not yet simulated for DARTS: the charge level remains constant and is not displayed on the OSD. This functionality will be refined in the next release.

The previous maximum motor signal limit of 1950 has also been removed for all anti-Shahed FPV interceptors.

As a result, these interceptors can now achieve slightly higher speeds at 100% throttle. However, operating at maximum power also results in noticeably reduced efficiency — another factor to consider when designing and practising interception scenarios.

What Else Has Changed?

Alongside the new aircraft and interceptor improvements, the update introduces changes to fixed-wing arming logic. The ARM channel now arms fixed-wing aircraft at the 50% setting, consistent with multicopters.

The video played when Obriy starts has also been updated.

This release expands not only Obriy's fleet but also the range of training opportunities available to operators. New aircraft types, distinct flight dynamics, different control characteristics, and additional operational scenarios provide more ways to develop and refine skills in the simulator.

With every release, Obriy offers more opportunities to test, practise, and understand different aspects of UAV operations before taking to the skies.

See you on Obriy!
