The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has officially codified and approved the domestically produced RONNI-13 unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for deployment in the Armed Forces.

As reported by Ukrinform, citing the Main Directorate for Support of the Life Cycle of Weapons and Military Equipment, the RONNI-13 features fiber-optic control and was developed based on the real-world combat experience of Ukraine’s defenders.

The drone is equipped with a lightweight, high-durability frame, capacitive batteries, and powerful brushless motors, enabling it to deliver a combat payload over long distances to target enemy personnel and equipment. Depending on mission requirements, the RONNI-13 can be outfitted with a range of cameras, allowing for effective operations both day and night.
