Revolver 860 developed by DronesVision is probably one of the most interesting drones used by Ukrainians . A large quadcopter is in practice a flying mortar – the drone is equipped with a revolver cartridge that can hold 8 60 mm mortar shells.
Revolver 860 – Flying Mortar
It is a weapon with a much greater firepower than improvised “bombs” made of hand grenades or 40-mm rounds for grenade launchers. At the same time, 60mm mortars are a very popular light support weapon. Mortars of this caliber, as produced in Tarnów LMP-2017, were delivered to Ukraine , among others through Poland, and the ammunition for them is cheap and easily available.
The Revolver 860 drone weighs 42 kg and is 1.35 m in diameter. When loaded with eight 60 mm rounds, it can fly up to 20 km with a flight duration in the range of 25-40 minutes.

What distinguishes it from the many drones or equipment used by soldiers, used by the Aerorozvidka organization described by Karolina Modzelewska , is its interesting adaptation to combat tasks.
The Revolver 860 unmanned aerial vehicle is equipped with a revolver cartridge – an 8-position “drum” from which mortars can be released one by one. The Revolver 860 is a new weapon – just a few months ago, the magazine “Stern” described the revolver magazine, indicating a company from the Netherlands as the originator of the solution.
The manufacturer emphasizes that the machine can also be adapted to other types of ammunition, such as heavier 81 or even 120 mm mortar shells, although after such a modification the number of carried loads will probably be much smaller.
Taiwanese aid provided by Poland
The information about the handover of drones by Taiwan is also interesting because Poland was involved in sending them to Ukraine – according to the Oryx website tracking the conflict – Poland was involved. The Polish trace is also indicated by materials in the German media describing the innovative equipment of drones.
Probably a dozen or so volunteers from Taiwan are fighting in the armed forces of Ukraine. The president of Taiwan also made a symbolic gesture by donating his salary to help Ukraine.
