Innovative defense solutions often emerge directly from the battlefield, combining the expertise of military engineers and developers.
This is the case with the creation of the 'Pavuk Dopkhina' (Dophin Spider) drone, a cutting-edge technology developed by the 3rd Assault Brigade and Omnitech, with support from Brave1, according to a post on the official Telegram channel of Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation.
The name “Dophin” honors a fallen Ukrainian soldier. It now serves as a powerful tool in striking enemy targets. The drone, capable of targeting over 50 kilometers, uses artificial intelligence algorithms to autonomously map and lock onto terrain, surpassing foreign counterparts in key performance metrics.
The drone’s primary function is to provide reliable communication for strike UAVs deep behind enemy lines. Thanks to Pavuk Dopkhina, Ukrainian drones can destroy surface-to-air missile systems, logistics, and other critical targets.
The 3rd Assault Brigade of Ukrainian Armed Forces is already carrying out missions with Dophin Spider, this innovation is already contributing to significant losses for Russian forces, Fedorov states.
Previously, it was reported that a Ukrainian ground-based robotic platform operated by the National Guard of Ukraine’s 13th Brigade “Khartia” has successfully completed a dual mission, delivering supplies to the front line and evacuating a wounded soldier over a 34-kilometer route.
