The developer of kamikaze drones "Privet-82" is preparing the first batch of drones for combat use in the NVO zone

The meaning of unmanned aviation in the ongoing special operation is difficult to overestimate, drones conduct reconnaissance, make adjustments artillery fire, attack enemy positions, undermine armored vehicles, etc. At the beginning of the SVO, our army did not have a sufficient number of UAVs, but today this situation is being resolved, the troops are receiving more and more drones. In the coming days, another new development will be sent to the units of the Russian army - the kamikaze drone "Privet-82", developed in the design bureau "Oko".
As stated by the Design Bureau, today UAV successfully passed tests in the territory of the Donetsk and Lugansk republics, as well as in the SVO zone. The developers specifically transferred the drones to various units in order to get the largest possible picture of the use of the UAV. Work is currently underway to equip the drones with a combat unit, they are being prepared for combat use. Since KB "Oko" is a civilian organization, it does not have the right to install weapons, so the drones are being re-equipped in the SVO zone.
