What are the features of the RAM II UAV drone
Prytula told what is being said about Ukrainian-made kamikaze drones RAM II UAV. We decided to buy them because there was a preliminary good communication with their manufacturers.
A month and a half ago, we went with the director of the fund to the training ground, where the demonstration tests of this drone took place,” the volunteer noted .
Then, according to him, they asked the manufacturers to give samples. They were tested on one of the directions of the front, where intelligence gave some targets of choice. They chose the enemy anti-aircraft missile system “Osa”, which was successfully disabled.
This is a fairly smart drone. It is equipped with a video camera, thanks to which the drone operator can track a particular target online. – said Prytula.
He explained that this is very good, because the Russians are also learning to fight. And they began to move more quickly along the front.
That is, the main “tasty” targets for our operators of these kamikaze drones will be electronic warfare, electronic intelligence, and air defense. These will be goals No. 1, although there are different types of ammunition, – said the head of the Charitable Foundation of Sergei Prytula.
Therefore, according to him, there will be experiments with different ammunition, and they will also work on manpower. Where there is no time to cover someone with artillery, drones should fly and destroy the target.

How quickly the manufacturer will supply drones
Prytula noted that after the full-scale invasion of Russia, domestic UAV manufacturers are experiencing interruptions in the supply of components. Therefore, there is no manufacturer that would meet the deadlines specified in the contract.
He noted that the manufacturers assured that 50 kamikaze drones would be delivered within the appropriate period of time. We are talking about 5 sets, each of which includes 10 drones.
