The Defense Procurement Agency is expanding the list of drones available for order by the military in the pilot version of the DOT-Chain Defence weapons marketplace. Now, in addition to FPV drones, bomber drones can be ordered through the system. This is stated in the AOZ message.
The agency explained that the addition of this type of UAV was due to high demand at the front and requests from the military. Combat brigades in the Donetsk direction have already received such drones. The delivery time to the front from the moment of ordering was 13 days.
Currently, 138 types of drones from 15 manufacturers are available in the marketplace.
"…We plan to expand the list of drones in the marketplace so that units receive exactly what they need, and exactly when it is critically important," said Arsen Zhumadilov, director of AOZ.
It was recently reported that during the first two weeks of DOT-Chain Defence testing, military units in the Donetsk, Zaporizhia, Kharkiv, and Kherson directions received the first thousand FPV drones.
DOT-Chain Defence was developed by the State Operator of Logistics and is used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine for operational and targeted provision of weapons to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
