What is known about Germany's intentions to transfer several thousand advanced Mini-Taurus drones to Ukraine
It is noted that the drones received the name Mini-Taurus due to their equipment with modern advanced technologies, which are practically invulnerable to the EW means of the Russian occupation army, and also do not depend on GPS navigation.
The plans for the transfer of these UAVs were confirmed by the head of the German Defense Ministry, Boris Pistorius.
Interlocutors of journalists of the publication note that Ukraine should receive the first few hundred of these drones as early as December of this year.
Currently, in the conditions of real combat operations, several such UAVs are being tested in service with the Ukrainian military.
Mini-Taurus drones are able to analyze the terrain, and even under difficult weather conditions, determine the location of important objects. This allows the drone to continue the mission even in case of loss of radio signal, which significantly increases the accuracy of the hit.
