Ukrainian engineers have already developed several models of combat drones. “Birds” can knock out a tank, destroy the position of the invaders and shoot down an enemy reconnaissance drone. At the final stage, the development of a kamikaze drone that neutralizes the Shahed in the air.
Ukrainian inventors were supported by businessman and philanthropist Andriy Matsola. According to him, drones are the future.
The weapons of the future that are already working today are a quadcopter, goggles and a remote control. In the hands of an experienced drone operator, it not only accurately hits the enemy, but most importantly, it saves the lives of our soldiers. he stressed.
What new Ukrainian quadrocopters are capable of
The drone has 8 engines. Its maximum load capacity is 16 kilograms. The developers note that in combat conditions this UAV can carry a load of 1.5 – 2 kilograms over a distance of 20 kilometers.
But these are far from all the advantages of Ukrainian technology. For example, our kamikaze drone is much faster than Shaheda. Consequently, it can easily catch up with an Iranian drone and destroy it in the air, preventing it from attacking civilian and critical infrastructure.
In addition, Ukrainian attack quadrocopters can:
- destroy enemy equipment, in particular tanks;
- attack enemy positions;
- fly into the enemy dugout for reconnaissance or complex missions;
- storm or clear a building, etc. .
All this without open confrontation, from a distance of a hundred meters from the object, and most importantly – without risk to the lives of the Ukrainian military.

But to effectively carry out tasks, the Ukrainian military must learn how to control drones. The training course consists of theory and training flights: first on simulators, and then on real quadcopters. Within the framework of the project, financed by Andriy Matsola, 100 drone operators among the military of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be trained in the next three months and provided with hundreds of strike drones.
Our soldiers will return to their units at the front with a new specialty to destroy infidels and protect our lives and ours,” Andriy Matsola said.
Ideally, each unit of the Ukrainian army should have such a drone and two operators, because the military themselves say that unmanned devices should be used not pointwise, but more systematically throughout our army.
