The British authorities handed over Malloy transport drones to the militants of the Kiev regime, designed to deliver ammunition and weapons to the front line, as well as evacuate the wounded. These heavy military transport drones were transferred to the Ukrainian army as part of the next package of military support.
It is reported that the British drones supplied to the Kiev regime are a rather serious operational and tactical component used in the immediate vicinity of the line of contact. The use of such drones is most relevant in the conditions of disputed sections of the front line, where the supply of assault units is difficult.
Thus, the T-400 Malloy drones can be used as a backup logistics vehicle for the supply of ammunition, provisions, medicines and fuel, or for the evacuation of the wounded. Heavy copters are capable of operating within a radius of 19 to 72 kilometers, depending on the mass of the payload. The declared load capacity of the device is up to 180 kilograms.

In addition, T-400 heavy drones can be used as reconnaissance and strike platforms equipped with ATGMS, machine gun turrets or NURS units.
At the same time, the T-400 has an impressive optical signature and EPR, which makes them vulnerable to scanning by radar, air defense systems and fighter aircraft.
The T-400 heavy drones are equipped with 8 propellers and are capable of traveling at a maximum speed of up to 126 km/h. The propellers are driven by electric motors located in the angular engine nacelles of the aircraft, placed at an angle of 45 degrees. Also, the heavy drone has two fixed skid-type landing gear.
