The mythical "Baba Yaga" appears constantly in intercepted enemy communications. The occupiers speak of it with unconcealed horror: it arrives at night, bullets don’t stop it, and the consequences of its visit are fatal. But behind this fairy-tale nickname lies not magic, but the cold calculation of Ukrainian engineers and the skill of our pilots.

We are talking about the class of Heavy Lift UAV bombers. And one of the brightest representatives of this class, methodically "dismantling" enemy positions, is the Pegasus Arms 25.

Let’s figure out the niche these giants occupy on the frontline, how they differ from popular FPVs, and why this specific type of weapon has become a game-changer in night warfare.

What is a Heavy Bomber Drone and Where Does It Fit?

To understand the value of the Pegasus Arms 25, we must move away from the generalized word "drone." In the sky of war, every bird has its specific role:

• Mavic/Autel: The "eyes" of the platoon. Light scouts for fire correction. They do not carry heavy loads.
• FPV Drones: "Guided bullets." Fast, maneuverable, cheap kamikazes. They fly a one-way trip and carry a relatively small payload (usually 1–2 kg).
• Fixed Wings (Leleka, Shark): Strategic reconnaissance at great depths.

A Heavy Bomber (like the Pegasus Arms 25) is in a completely different league. It is a reusable VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aerial platform capable of carrying a powerful payload (up to 14–20 kg and more) over significant distances, dropping it with surgical precision, and returning to base for a new "gift."

It is not expendable material like an FPV. It is a full-fledged combat complex that replaces the work of a mortar crew or even artillery, yet costs hundreds of times less than the tank it can destroy in a single sortie.

Why Does the Enemy Fear "Baba Yaga"?

The nickname "Baba Yaga" didn't appear out of nowhere. It broadcasts the enemy's primal fear of inevitable punishment.

1. Masters of the Night. The Pegasus Arms 25 operates primarily at night. Equipped with a powerful thermal camera, it sees what is hidden by darkness: warm engines of vehicles, infantry groups, and dugout entrances. The enemy cannot sleep, cannot move, and cannot rotate personnel. The psychological pressure from the sound of rotors in the dark is as exhausting as the explosions themselves.
2. Concrete-Piercing Power. An FPV drone might damage a tank or wound an infantryman. But to destroy a capital dugout reinforced with logs and earth, you need a different caliber. A heavy bomber carries TM-62 anti-tank mines, heavy shaped charges, or thermobaric munitions. A single hit from the Pegasus Arms 25 can "collapse" an entire fortification structure.
3. Invulnerability to Small Arms. These drones fly at significant altitudes. Shooting them down with a rifle in the dark is almost impossible. And thanks to a well-thought-out architecture and secure communication links (as found in the Pegasus Arms 25), grounding them with Electronic Warfare (EW) is much harder than jamming civilian copters.

4 Key Missions of the Pegasus Arms 25

What specific tasks does this bird cover that are beyond the reach of other UAV types?

1. Destruction of Heavy Armor Enemy tanks and IFVs often hide in treelines or revetments (caponiers). At night, they become stationary targets. The Pegasus Arms 25 pilot hovers over the target, corrects for wind, and drops a cumulative munition. The result is the total destruction of equipment worth millions of dollars. In 2025 alone, Pegasus Arms 25 pilots inflicted over $4 billion in damages on the occupiers.

2. Dismantling Fortifications Smoking the enemy out of deep holes is the hardest task for infantry during assaults. The Pegasus Arms 25 acts as an "aerial hammer." Methodical dropping of heavy munitions destroys dugout ceilings, forcing the enemy to retreat or perish under the rubble. This saves the lives of our assault infantry.

3. Remote Mining This is a unique function of heavy drones. The Pegasus Arms 25 can carry mines and drop them in the enemy's rear. Imagine the situation: at night, an enemy logistics column drives along a habitual "safe" route 10 km from the front line and suddenly hits mines that "appeared from the sky." This completely breaks enemy logistics.

4. Humanitarian Missions and Logistics A heavy drone is not only about death to enemies but also life to our own. When a unit is encircled or in a hard-to-reach position, these drones deliver water, ammunition, medicine, and provisions. The Pegasus Arms 25 is capable of carrying cargo critical for the survival of brothers-in-arms.

Pegasus Arms 25: Technological Advantage

Why do pilots choose our complex? Because "Baba Yaga" is a myth, but Pegasus Arms is technology.

• EW Resilience: The use of FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) technology allows operation where other drones lose control.
• Modularity: A versatile mounting system allows for quick changes of ammunition types or payloads to suit specific missions.
• Autonomy: Smart navigation and stabilization systems help the pilot accurately target the objective even in difficult weather conditions.

Conclusion

Heavy bomber drones have closed a critical niche between artillery and light aviation. They have become a factor of deterrence and night dominance. The Pegasus Arms 25 proves that weapon efficiency is measured not only by caliber but also by engineering solutions.

While the enemy trembles at the mention of "Baba Yaga," we continue to improve our "birds," making them even quieter, more precise, and deadlier. Because the only cure for their fear is to leave our land.
