Step Forward in Firefighting!
This August UVR LLC specialists tested a new payload for the unmanned aerial vehicle “SAKAVIK” – a fire extinguishing system.
This system is designed to extinguish fires in open areas. It is a device that holds 4 capsules with a flame-extinguishing composition, each with a volume of 25 liters, on the external suspension of the UAV. The capsules can be dropped on operator’s command when the UAV hovers at an altitude of 50 m above the fire source and are activated at a preset altitude of 0 to 5 m above the surface, releasing a multicomponent liquid that prevents the spread of flame. Each capsule is capable of extinguishing a flame on an area of up to 9 sq.m.
This fire extinguishing system has a potential for use in extinguishing wild fires in forests, fields and industrial facilities.

Visit of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) Delegation
On July 29, 2025 UVR LLC received a delegation of government and business circles of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) headed by the Permanent Representative of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) to the President of the Russian Federation A.S. Fedotov. The visit was organized with the assistance of the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Belarus.
The delegation included representatives of Yakut airlines and government agencies responsible for the development of transport infrastructure. Considering the fact that Yakutia is a vast territory with a low population density and a large number of hard-to-reach settlements, aviation plays a very important role in ensuring their vital functions. The republic began implementing a program for the use of unmanned aerial vehicles of various payload capacity for cargo deliveries. The implementation of this program brought the delegation to UVR LLC.
At “Kukhtichi” airfield, the Yakut delegation was shown flights of three unmanned aerial vehicles manufactured by UVR LLC: DroMi, Sakavik and Electron 7.
The UAV DroMi demonstrated a flight in automatic mode with a cargo placed in the cabin and another one on an external sling, with a total weight of 850 kg. The capabilities of DroMi aroused increased interest among the delegation members, and first of all, its leader A.S. Fedotov. He noted that the use of such a vehicle in Yakutia will help to solve a wide range of tasks for the delivery of goods to remote settlements.
The UAV Sakavik demonstrated a flight with a targeted release of a fire extinguishing capsule. It was noted that this use case of the UAV is also in demand in Yakutia, where forest fires regularly break out in remote areas of the taiga. There is also a market niche for the UAV Electron 7 in the republic – delivery of mail and small parcels.
During the visit and demonstration flights, an exchange of opinions took place on the prospects for using the demonstrated UAV models in Yakutia. The delegation leaders and UVR LLC administration agreed to initiate a project for the joint conversion of Mi-2 and Mi-8 cargo helicopters into UAVs in Yakutia for their subsequent operation in the republic.

Testing of the New Safe Flight Termination System for the UAV “Electron 7”
Specialists of UVR LLC have successfully tested a new model of the safe flight termination system for the UAV “Electron 7”. Unlike the previous system, which consisted of a parachute and a gas generator located in the cavity of the tail boom, the new one is an autonomous unit that can be attached to different surfaces of the UAV.
During the test flight, which took place at Kukhtichi airfield, an emergency situation was simulated in which the safe flight termination system was triggered. The UAV descended with a parachute on a field adjacent to the airfield. Damage received by the UAV as a result of the emergency landing was insignificant.
The new system has several features ensuring its higher efficiency in comparison with the previous model:
– The system is fixed on the UAV’s body and considers the centering characteristics of the aerial vehicle.
– The UAV lands at 3 points of the chassis in its normal mode and position.
– A special mechanism (swivel), that prevents the lines from twisting and ensures the rotation of the UAV relative to the parachute, is installed between the connecting link made of Kevlar cord and the parachute lines.
Testing of the system will continue until a stable result is obtained, after which the system will be included into the standard product package.

UVR LLC at the “Unmanned Aviation 2025” Forum
UVR LLC took part in the XII Eurasian International Forum “Unmanned Aviation 2025” – AVIACENTER
The forum was held on April 25 at the Congress center of the Golden Ring Hotel (Smolenskaya St., 5, Moscow, Russia). The event was organized by the Center for Strategic Research in Civil Aviation (CSR GA), with the Transport Strategy Center as the strategic partner.
“Unmanned Aviation – 2025” is the largest annual Eurasian international business platform for professional discussion of international trends and innovative solutions, issues of legal and technical regulations of the use of unmanned aerial systems.
UVR LLC made a report at the forum on the following topic: “The experience of conversion (re-equipment) of heavy piloted helicopters of classical scheme into UAVs using the example of Mi-2 helicopter”, which demonstrated to the audience the main stages of the development of the unmanned aerial vehicle “DroMi”.
The achievements of UVR LLC were highly appreciated by experts of the Center for Strategic Development in Civil Aviation. The company became one of the winners of the Eurasian Prize in the field of unmanned aerial systems for achievements in conversion of piloted aircraft into UAVs.
Participation of UVR LLC in the “Unmanned Aviation 2025” forum allowed the company to get acquainted with the latest achievements and developments of colleagues from Russia and other countries in the field of unmanned aviation, to express its point of view on promising areas of UAVs application, and to receive information from consumers of unmanned aviation services about their urgent needs. All this will allow the company to improve its work at the markets of the countries-participants of the forum. The event showed that the authority of UVR LLC in the field of unmanned aviation and brand recognition have grown significantly over the past 2-3 years not only in the Russian Federation, but also in other countries!

Demonstration Flights at “Kukhtichi” Airfield
On February 26, 2025, demonstration flights of two models of heavy unmanned aerial vehicles, “COMBO” and “DroMi”, were conducted at the airfield of UVR LLC.
The event was attended by representatives of state and commercial structures of the Republic of Belarus and Russian Federation.
The flights were conducted as part of presentation of the capabilities of mentioned unmanned aerial vehicles to potential customers, partners and the public.
In addition to the flights of the heavy weight UAVs visitors got acquainted with the potential of the light UAV “Electron 7| and the medium weight UAV “SAKAVIK”.
After the flights were over, negotiations and exchange of opinions on the prospects for commercial use of the demonstrated UAV models took place.
Most of those present agreed that services provided by helicopter-type UAVs of various takeoff weight were in high demand. At the moment, there are strong grounds for the commercial operation of unmanned vehicles of this type.
The participants of the event expressed their readiness for cooperation and decided to jointly promote innovative solutions and new technologies in the field of heavy helicopter-type UAVs in the Russian Federation and other EAEU countries.
