The Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has published data on the design, electronic base and sources of supply of the new russian V2U strike drone with artificial intelligence, which the occupiers are actively using on the Sumy axis. It was reported by the Defense Intelligence press service.
"The drone's feature is its ability to autonomously search and select targets using artificial intelligence. The computing system is based on the Chinese minicomputer Leetop A203, as the central processor in which a high-speed assembly based on NVIDIA Jetson Orin is used," the report says.

V2U is equipped with only one GPS module, which probably indicates the russians' refusal to use satellite navigation due to the operation of Ukrainian electronic warfare systems. Presumably, navigation is used using "computer vision" - the drone compares the image from the camera with pre-loaded photos of the area.
It is also possible to control in FPV format via LTE communication. A Microdrive Tandem-4GS-OEM-11 modem-router is installed, which works with a SIM card of a Ukrainian mobile operator. Despite the russian marking, the element base of the modem is of Chinese origin.
The drone is assembled mainly from Chinese-made components: an engine, a GPS module, servos, a solid-state drive, a rangefinder, speed controllers, and batteries. In addition, a Japanese photosensitive sensor Sony, an electromagnetic relay from the Irish company Te Connectivity, as well as the aforementioned American Jetson Orin module are installed.
The Defense Intelligence also published the identification data of two russian and two Chinese companies involved in the supply and assembly of components for this type of UAV.
Recall that the russian federation launched 499 air targets over Ukraine at night.
