The Ministry of Defenсe has codified the new R-34-T drone with laser guidance for ammunition

The Ukrainian R-34-T quadcopter drone, which can provide laser targeting for strikes on enemy targets, has been officially approved for operation in units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, the Ministry of Defenсe reported.

The main feature of the drone is a laser that will illuminate targets for strikes with high-precision munitions. It is already known that the drone will be used for air strikes with guided bombs and artillery strikes with high-precision munitions.

The Ministry of Defenсe notes that laser targeting will significantly increase the effectiveness of the use of guided munitions at long distances and in conditions of active enemy air defense and electronic warfare.

The R-34-T features secure communication channels, a modular architecture, and resistance to electronic warfare. This will allow for more efficient use of available resources on the battlefield, minimize ammunition consumption, and reduce risks to operators and combat units.

The drone approved for operation is a modification of the Ukrainian R-34 bomber drone, developed by FRDM GROUP. It is already in use on the front lines, and the drone was recently presented at the International Drone Show 2025 in Denmark.

In addition to drones, the company has developed a number of other technological solutions, such as the D-21 robotic platform or the D-12 automated turret.
