Ukrainian Armour has completed the codification of two new drone models — UB80D15-EFP and UB82FO. The manufacturer reported this on social media.

The models differ in the type of warhead. According to the manufacturer, the UB80D15-EFP has an 80 mm explosively formed penetrator (EFP) warhead and is intended to engage enemy personnel, equipment and firing positions.

The UB82FO is fitted with a warhead based on an 82 mm mortar round. Its purpose is to engage personnel, unarmoured vehicles and firing positions, including those in field shelters, the developers said.

According to the company, both models are available with either a daylight or a thermal imaging camera. The unmanned aerial system includes a ground control station and the drones. Two basic configurations are предусмотрено: 250 drones with a daylight camera, or 200 with a daylight camera and 50 with a thermal imaging camera. If required by the customer, the number of aircraft and the ratio of different variants can be adjusted.

“The main feature of our new strike UAVs is a comprehensive approach to creating a ready-made solution for the military. Unlike many platforms on the market that require additional equipment, our drones are supplied already fitted with warheads,” the company added.
