However, there is no publicly available information regarding the flight range and payload capacity of these drones.
The Militarnyi news portal suggests that the UAS SETH may carry a payload of between 3 and 5 kilograms.
By the way, the first Ukrainian equivalent of the Shahed drones was showcased in early December of last year. This happened during the visit of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to Kyiv.
