The aviation complex includes two unmanned aerial vehicles PD-2 and one vehicle converted into a mobile UAV command post. Thus, the Armed Forces will receive 20 drones and 10 vehicles.

PD-2 developed by a Ukrainian company UkrSpecSystems. The drone is equipped with an internal combustion engine and can cover more than 1000 km on a full tank. In this case, the flight radius from the command post is 200 km.

PD-2 is a fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle. It can rise into the air both from the runway and vertically. Battery life is 12 hours. The drone is equipped with a 30 zoom camerax. It is complemented by a thermal imager with a 5x zoom.

The UAV supports automatic target interleaving tracking. The manufacturer claims the ability to determine the coordinates of the target at a distance of more than 5 km. Another feature PD-2 is the use of military communication standards with pseudo-random frequency hopping, which increases resistance to signal suppression.
