Ukrainian 25 and 30 km coils for fiber optic FPV drones from 3DTech have successfully passed internal tests and have been launched into mass production, Defence Express reports.
Testing for product codification and subsequent approval for use in the Armed Forces of Ukraine is also planned for early May.
The company says that their product is the first serial 30-km coil in Ukraine. At the same time, 3DTech CEO Oleksiy Zhulinsky added that the production and winding of all the company's coils is completely localized in Ukraine - only raw materials are purchased.
He also said that finished coils made in China often have a factory defect - it is very difficult to detect. On the other hand, winding the coil in Ukraine makes it possible to control the quality of the product at all stages of production. Accordingly, this significantly reduces the number of breakages during use by the military at the front.
The company also noted that back in January, their fiber-optic drones "Predator REBOFF" successfully passed tests for codification. Now the products have received their own codes, and their production rate should be 1 thousand products per month.
Earlier, the Ministry of Defense reported that about 40 fiber-optic drones were allowed to operate in Ukraine.
