Russian forces have begun testing an octocopter drone on the battlefield in Ukraine, with a payload capacity of 12 kilograms, including carrying TM-62 anti-tank mines. This drone was handmade by frontline Russian troops and is being gradually deployed to Russian front-line units. During testing, Russian forces used this drone to drop anti-tank mines and other munitions on Ukrainian positions in Kharkiv, with good results.
For a long time, the Russian military had almost no heavy drones, and even those that had been developed were only for show. Therefore, frontline Russian troops made their own, developing a cheaper and more efficient octocopter heavy drone. However, this drone will not be produced domestically in Russia.
