"During electronic warfare (EW) tests, the domestic octocopter demonstrated excellent results: it operated successfully despite snow, gusty winds, and the operation of all EW equipment on the range," stated the ministry.
The Ministry of Defense approved the UAV for operation in April of this year.
Drone production in Ukraine
According to Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksii Reznikov, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have over 20 new domestically produced drone models in their arsenal.
He also noted a real drone production boom in Ukraine, partly attributed to the government streamlining procedures for developers and manufacturers of weaponry and military equipment.
The Cabinet of Ministers allocated 40 billion hryvnias this year to invest in Ukrainian drone manufacturers.
