This visit has to be a new starting point for the development of efficient cooperation and contribute to strengthening of national security of both states.

A Ukrainian company also can offer the Philippines the new UAV unmanned aviation complex «Anser» and «Sparrow».

The UAV of the «Sparrow» series are designed for tactical reconnaissance of shirt and medium range. The speed of deployment, simplicity and reliability, resistance to mechanical and thermal effects and complete protection from moisture make them indispensable for tactical reconnaissance groups.

The «Anser» is an unmanned aviation vehicle for monitoring large areas, shorelines, positions and movements of the enemy in the rear. The optics with 32x zoom allow detailed investigation of an area.

The main distinguishing features of the unmanned aviation complex include the opportunity to stay in the air from 6 to 12 hours, ability to carry a payload of 5 kg and use of fully encrypted digital data channels. Meanwhile the weight of the aircraft is 23 kg.

The aircraft is launched using a catapult and landed with a parachute. Therefore, the use of the complex does not need fixed runways or landing sites.
