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.
