Ukraine’s New Satellite-Guided Adis Drone Allows Pilots to Fly From Anywhere in the World

Ukrainian mil-tech brand Martyn Tech has unveiled “Adis,” a new heavy bomber quadcopter equipped with an unlimited control range that allows operators to safely pilot the aircraft from any location worldwide, Dev.ua reported on June 3

The fundamental advantage of the Adis drone is its reliance on satellite communication, which completely removes standard radio horizon constraints. This technology allows pilots to remain thousands of kilometers away from the frontline while executing missions that are impossible for standard radio-controlled drones.

Ilya Samoshkin, head of Martyn Tech, discussed the development process behind the new aircraft in a comment to Dev.ua.

“Adis is not just a new drone, it is a logical evolution of our lineup,” Samoshkin said. “It was created upon a direct request from the front to perform complex strike tasks, mining, and logistics under limited radio horizon conditions.”

“The drone is also integrated into combat scenarios that will inflict critical losses on the enemy, but we will be able to tell about them only after our victory,” he stated.

The drone features a modular design that allows personnel to quickly reconfigure it for different frontline roles, including ammunition drops on enemy positions, precision remote mining along Russian logistics routes, and safe cargo delivery to hard-to-reach forward positions.

Ukraine’s New “Middle Strike” Drones Are Wiping Out Russia’s Supply Chains and Air Defenses

Adis has an official combat radius of 20 kilometers with a 10-kilogram payload and can stay airborne for approximately one hour on a single battery charge, though it carried 12 kilograms over 20 kilometers during field trials, according to Dev.ua.

The platform has already completed state codification and will soon be available on military procurement marketplaces, Dev.ua noted. The drone was named in honor of a soldier from the 72nd Separate Mechanized Brigade with the callsign “Adis,” who died in June 2022 in the Donetsk region while defending Ukraine from Russian aggression.

The development follows a recent report detailing an upgrade to Fire Point’s FP-2 drone. By redesigning the aircraft’s wing structure to increase internal fuel capacity, the company had enabled the platform to carry a 200-kilogram warhead up to 370 kilometers.

To scale production and lower costs, Fire Point transitioned to domestically manufactured engines and components, while also designing new configurations that allow the drone to carry onboard rockets or function as a “mothership” transporting smaller quadcopters.
