Smetanin noted that the drone has already been tested by the military. Six teams completed flight missions, including a 10-kilometer flight at an altitude of over 250 meters and target acquisition.
At a recent review, six Ukrainian drone manufacturers presented their designs to government and military officials. Two UAV models were subsequently certified.
According to military outlet Defense Express, the drones, which are positioned as counterparts to the Chinese-made Mavic, are not exactly comparable. The article stated that all showcased models have similar dimensions. They can operate in the air for 40 to 60 minutes and carry a payload of 1 to 3 kilograms.
These drones are primarily designed for reconnaissance but can also be used to drop explosive ordnance. They are intended for direct battlefield operations, according to the report.
