Britain is one of the most active suppliers of weapons, equipment and ammunition for the Ukrainian army. And in the new package of military assistance to Ukraine, London has included heavy Malloy UAVs capable of evacuating the wounded.
This is reported in the official social networks of the British Ministry of Defense.
The devices are also capable of delivering weapons, equipment and ammunition to the front line.
- the message of the Defense Department of the United Kingdom says.
The range of the drones is 70 kilometers. These aircraft are capable of moving loads weighing up to 180 kilograms.

Judging by the footage shown by the British Ministry of Defense, such a drone, if it appears on the front line, will be a noticeable target. Perhaps it is quite possible to damage or shoot down the device even with the help of small arms. It is easy to spot even at a great distance. And it is unlikely that it flies silently.
Probably, its suitability for the evacuation of the wounded is very doubtful, except in emergency cases when there are no other options. But, for example, for the delivery of ammunition, it is quite suitable. Moreover, unlike a car, mined areas will not be a hindrance for a drone, and artillery does not pose a danger to it.
Britain provides substantial assistance to the Armed Forces. In addition to supplies for the Ukrainian army, it trains military personnel and provides intelligence to the Ukrainian army.
