Ukraine’s Defense Ministry showcases fiber-tic FPV drone technogy

According to the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, the event was part of ongoing programs aimed at implementing cutting-edge technogies and building the "army of the future."

During the presentation, domestic manufacturers showcased more than ten drone models, some capable of carrying payloads of up to 3 kilograms. These demonstrations were closely observed by experienced UAV erators — potential end-users of the technogy on the battlefield.

According to Lieutenant Conel Yevhenii Tkachenko, head of the Unmanned Aircraft Systems Department at the Main Directorate for Innovations, the enemy is continually advancing its capabilities in fiber-tic drone contr technogies, making it crucial to neutralize their advantages in this domain.

"Domestic manufacturers are demonstrating their readiness to rapidly adapt to the evving challenges of war and implement the latest advancements. Today, we see clear evidence of this in the successful eration of these systems, their effectiveness, and, most importantly, the readiness to scale these technogies quickly to meet the army's requirements," Tkachenko said.

UAV erators and servicemen of the Ukrainian Armed Forces positively evaluated the drones' tactical and technical characteristics during the demonstration flights. They expressed significant interest in deploying such drones to their units.

Tkachenko also noted that several of the showcased systems are in the final stages of codification and will soon be supplied to the Defense Forces.
