DOT-Chain Defence: fixed-wing drones now available for order by the military

Fixed-wing drones are now available on the DOT-Chain Defence marketplace and can be ordered by military units. 

“Most of the models are reconnaissance drones. They are designed for long-duration flights and capable of performing a broad spectrum of missions. The range comprises 12 models produced by 8 Ukrainian companies,” said Denys Shmyhal, Minister of Defence of Ukraine.

The Defence Procurement Agency (DPA) of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine has contracted these manufacturers to deliver drones both from existing stock and through pre-orders.

“Acting on the Ministry of Defence’s assignment, the DPA is further expanding the product range and enhancing cooperation with manufacturers. “In the near future, plans include scaling up the system and expanding the range of available products: other types of drones, including ground robotic systems, electronic warfare (EW) and signals/electronic intelligence (SIGINT/ELINT) capabilities, as well as drone-deployed munitions,” noted the Minister of Defence of Ukraine.

DOT-Chain Defence is a weapons marketplace for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, enabling the military to independently select the equipment they require and receive it promptly.  Through DOT-Chain Defence, the military can already order FPV drones and bomber drones.

From order to the front line, delivery takes a couple of weeks — and in the fastest cases, just five days.
