Serbia’s Yugoimport is expanding its long-range strike toolkit with the Gavran 145 (Raven 145), a new loitering munition built to hunt, wait, and engage armored targets.

Measuring 2.2 meters (7.2 feet) long with a 2.4-meter (7.9-foot) wingspan, the platform keeps its footprint small, making it easy to move and deploy.

A 15-kilogram (33-pound) payload, combined with electric, gasoline, or turbo-jet propulsion options, gives operators flexibility across different mission profiles.

With roughly three hours of endurance, the Gavran 145 can stay on station long enough to survey, track, and strike when conditions are optimal.

In its turbo-jet configuration, it reaches 160 meters (525 feet) per second, giving it the speed to close on targets before they can react.

Positioned as a low-cost option for deep-strike missions, the munition also supports real-time intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) and area-denial roles.

Flexible Attack Modes

Launch begins with a solid-propellant booster, which kicks the drone into the air before it unfolds its wings and switches to its electric, gasoline, or turbo-jet engine.

Its operational range falls between 120 and 150 kilometers (75 to 93 miles), supported by an inertial navigation system, GPS, and Global Navigation Satellite System for accurate targeting.

Top-attack angles from 15 to 75 degrees let it hit the most vulnerable points on armored vehicles.

Warhead options range from blast and anti-armor to heavier charges built to punch through explosive reactive armor.

A modular launcher allows units to fire a single round for precision strike or ripple multiple munitions when they need a wide or more forceful effect.
