Drone Database

Commercial off-the-shelf multirotor drones adapted for military use. Cheap, abundant, and easy to operate. Widely used for reconnaissance, artillery correction, and light strike when modified with munition-release mechanisms. The backbone of small-unit ISR in modern conflicts.

Large octocopter or hexacopter modified to carry multiple mortar rounds, anti-tank mines, or improvised bombs. Operates primarily at night for covert bombing runs on trenches, equipment, and supply areas. Increasingly used for **remote area-denial mining** — air-dropping TM-62 / PTM-class anti-tank mines onto roads, MSRs and CASEVAC routes deep in enemy rear, where the mine remains active long after the drone has left.

Large multirotor or helicopter-type UAV designed for logistics and battlefield resupply. Delivers ammunition, medical supplies, and equipment to forward positions without risking personnel on dangerous supply routes.

Drone designed for chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) missions. Can carry detection sensors to survey contaminated areas without risking personnel, or theoretically be weaponized to disperse chemical/biological agents. A dual-use threat — essential for both defense and offense.

Multirotor or hybrid platform engineered for very low acoustic signature using ducted fans, toroidal/serrated propellers, electric drive and noise-absorbing structures. Designed to evade acoustic detection arrays and maintain covert ISR over urban or sensitive sites.

Repurposed commercial crop-spraying multirotor capable of carrying 20–50 kg payloads. Cheap, rugged and widely available, used as a poor-man's bomber by non-state actors and irregular forces to drop mortar rounds, IEDs or incendiaries. The Ukrainian 'Baba Yaga' / Vampire-class variant is also widely used for **remote area-denial mining**, scattering anti-tank mines on Russian supply roads and rear-area MSRs at night.
