The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has codified and approved for operation in the Armed Forces the Ukrainian-made unmanned FPV aviation complex “Svitlovod”.
This was reported by the press service of the Main Directorate for Supporting the Life Cycle of Armaments and Military Equipment, the defense ministry reports.
“The drones of the “Svitlovod” complex are built on a sturdy frame, have high-performance engines, and capacious lightweight batteries. These “birds” have a fiber-optic control channel and deliver a warhead to a distance of several dozen kilometers. The drones are equipped with automatic target detection and recognition systems. Depending on the configuration, they can be equipped with day or night cameras,” the post says.
The Ministry of Defense emphasized that the “Svitlovod” deploys into combat position in a few minutes.
It should be noted that since January 2025, more than 60 samples of unmanned aircraft systems with a fiber-optic control channel have been approved for operation in the troops.
