In particular, a relatively light drone "Drop" weighing about 7.2 kg for fire reconnaissance with four attachable modules will be produced. In addition, several helicopter-type drones will appear: these are the Thunderstorm models (equipped with a 25-liter fire-extinguishing bomb), the Storm (two 25-liter fire-extinguishing bombs each), the Shower (four high-explosive bombs with powder), the Cyclone (equipped with a hose and an emergency hammer for breaking windows), the Perun (endowed with an emergency hammer and a 20 kg powder fire extinguisher).
