The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has codified and authorized the use of the White Wolf strike unmanned aerial vehicle in the Armed Forces. This was reported by the ministry with reference to the Main Directorate for Support of the Life Cycle of Weapons and Military Equipment, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports.

The UAV is capable of delivering a powerful combat charge to the target, effective against heavy armored vehicles, fortifications and other protected enemy targets.

Main characteristics of the “White Wolf”:

  • High striking power: the drone is capable of delivering a heavy warhead to the target, which allows it to effectively engage enemy armored vehicles and fortified targets.
  • Rapiddeployment: the system can be deployed within a few minutes, which ensures a rapid response to combat missions.
  • Composition of the system: the system includes an unmanned aerial vehicle with a digital combined camera, a command and control station, a set of power batteries and other necessary elements.

Earlier, in 2023, Serhiy Prytula’s charitable foundation handed over 10 White Wolf attack hexacopters to the SBU’s Special Operations Center A unit.

These drones are capable of dropping up to six munitions that are mounted under the drone. According to the commander of the Magyar Birds unit, two White Wolf systems (six units of strike bombers) cost about 7.266 million hryvnias.

The introduction of the “White Wolf” into the Armed Forces of Ukraine strengthens the capabilities of the Ukrainian military in modern warfare, in particular in the context of the active use of unmanned technologies.
