In response to military needs, the manufacturer has produced larger variants of the ‘Hromylo’ drone, now equipped with 10-inch frames. These models are capable of carrying explosive payloads powerful enough to destroy heavily armoured tanks and fortified enemy positions.
The ‘Hromylo Optic’ drones are equipped with fibre-optic control systems and feature selectable video systems with daytime, twilight, or night (thermal) cameras. This technology ensures precise and reliable target identification around the clock.
Military units are already deploying the ‘Hromylo Optic’ drones, with confirmed reports of successful hits on enemy tanks, armoured personnel carriers, and firing positions. The system is recognised as a modern tool of warfare, with key advantages including its extended operational range and high strike effectiveness.
“Since the beginning of 2025, the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine has codified and adopted nearly 40 unmanned aerial systems with fibre-optic control, including about 15 in April alone,” said Deputy Minister of Defence of Ukraine Valerii Churkin. “Our manufacturers are responding swiftly to frontline challenges. Those who are quickest to implement innovative solutions gain the advantage. We cannot afford to fall into the trap of illusions or underestimate the enemy’s technical capabilities, as they constantly advance. We must outpace them.”
