Unmanned aerial system Leleka-100 is a fully automatic UAV system suitable for common military, industrial, and commercial tasks. The main advantage of this system is advanced inertial navigation, which allows operating in a harsh and GPS-denied environment.

The system can be equipped with EO and IR gimbals. It has a quiet and reliable electric motor, which allows operations at low altitudes without being noticed.

LELEKA-100 UAV can carry a wide range of different payloads, which can be quickly replaced thanks to the modular design of the drone. Double-axes camera gimbals are gyro-stabilized and remotely controlled in the directions of the flight.

LELEKA-100 unmanned aerial system has been officially in service in Ukrainian Armed Forces since 2015. It is one of the most commonly used drones of its class in the Ukrainian Army and has most of the flight hours recorded.
