Details: At its stand, the company presented for the first time the UB82D drone in a new airframe, which was codified in May this year. The system is an FPV drone built on a 10-inch frame and fitted with an 82 mm mortar bomb as its warhead. The UAV features a protective casing produced using 3D-printing technology.
The company also displayed the UB60D kamikaze drone, armed with a 60 mm mortar bomb. It is based on the same concept and was codified last year.
As mortar bombs are more suitable for engaging infantry, the company is also working on a proprietary warhead designed to destroy armoured vehicles and other protected targets.
A proprietary explosively formed penetrator is already under development and will be integrated into drones built on a 10-inch frame.
Ukrainian Armor also plans to conduct trials of its first fibre-optic drone by the end of the year. The system will be based on the company's own 82 mm mortar bomb integrated into a 15-inch frame, as the drone must carry both the warhead and a spool of fibre-optic cable.
