German unmanned aerial vehicle manufacturer Quantum-Systems has begun supplying Ukraine with 100 Trinity drones of various models, according to the website of German aid to Ukraine, Germany Aid Ukraine, on Sunday.
“The supply of drones was announced in September 2023 during a meeting between Quantum-Systems CEO Florian Seibel and Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko at the Stern Stewart Institute Summit. The company, which is particularly active in Ukraine’s defense campaign, is actually donating the drones. Quantum-Systems is also supplying hundreds of Vector UAVs to Ukraine on behalf of the German government,” the statement said.
As noted in the report, Ukrainian operators have completed training for Trinity operators and operator trainers, and now will not depend on foreign training, and the first delivery of drones will take place in January. The Kyiv city administration will decide how and where the 100 Trinity drones will be deployed.
The report describes the characteristics of the mapping modification of the Trimity Pro drone and notes that they are suitable for assessing military destruction. “This means that they are used to accurately map damage to infrastructure, buildings, roads or bridges, for example, after Russian attacks… However, there is also a chance that Trinity will be seen on the battlefield. As we have already mentioned, the German company supplies Ukraine with a mixture of all Trinity models,” the statement said.
In particular, the Trinity Tactical model can be used, for example, to provide real-time imagery to special forces operating in enemy territory or in isolated areas.
“In just one flight, a single drone can cover an area of 700 hectares or a linear corridor of 90 km. Regardless of where and how the Ukrainians deploy the drones later, we can be sure that they will serve well both on the battlefield and in cities, and will actively support the fight against Russian occupiers or civilian reconstruction,” the website says.
