The new hexacopter hunts down heavily armored targets

The Ministry of Defence has codified and authorized the Ukrainian-made ‘Volynyaka’ unmanned aerial system for operational use within the units of the Defence Forces of Ukraine. This was reported by the MoD’s Main Directorate for Support of the Life Cycle of Weapons and Military Equipment. 

‘Volynyaka’ is a bomber hexacopter designed to destroy a wide range of enemy targets. Early modifications of this bomber have been operating on the front lines since the early months of the full-scale war, credited with the destruction of hundreds of enemy military vehicles, dugouts, and troop concentrations. These drones can carry out combat tasks under any weather conditions, at dusk, and in strong winds. The latest versions feature significantly improved characteristics.

The unmanned system consists of a control unit, pilot goggles, a signal repeater, and a reusable hexacopter equipped with six high-performance brushless motors. This UAV is specifically designed for delivering payloads in challenging battlefield conditions. It can drop munitions with enough destructive power to destroy heavily armored targets. Additionally, ‘Volynyaka’ can perform logistical tasks, such as delivering essential equipment to positions.
