Baba Yaga is the Russian nickname given to a range of Ukrainian heavy bomber drones used in the war following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, including models such as the Aerorozvidka R18, Kazhan, Nemesis and Vampire. These are large multirotor drones, with four, six or eight rotors, evolved from agricultural octocopter designs, capable of carrying a rocket warhead of up to 15 kilograms and fitted with thermal imaging cameras, and have been in use since 2022.
