First combat use according to the developer
The Ukrainian military has for the first time used the multi-purpose Bulldog drone in combat conditions — this was reported to journalists by the developer company Roboneers. According to the company, the crew of the 23rd Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine carried out four sorties with strike missions. In these sorties, the company claims, the drone operated at a distance of up to 15 km from the operator and carried up to 9 kg of payload.
What is known about the drone itself
The Bulldog was unveiled in March 2026 in two configurations: for dropping munitions and for communications relay. Thus, the claimed combat use refers to the strike version of the drone, which reached the troops several months after its presentation. The Roboneers lineup also includes the reconnaissance Wardog Scout and the Wardog TRN relay.
Limitations of the information
The information about the first combat use comes from the developer company itself; the publication provides no independent confirmation of the number and nature of the sorties. Separately, Life.ru previously reported that Ukrainian servicemen abandoned foreign weapons, ammunition and food while retreating from positions in the Olkhovatka area of Kharkiv region. More news about drones and other developments is published by the outlet in its 'Military Equipment' section.
