The Ukroboronprom State Concern is working on a project to create an unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) complex, the press service of the Ukroboronprom reported on Thursday, citing Deputy Director for Aircraft Building and Production Yuriy Paschenko.

"We've proposed to the Defense Ministry to create UCAVs that are able to destroy an enemy's tank, for example," he said.

He said that the main task of the UCAV will be delivery of the missile to the target, while the UCAV could be also used by intelligence.

Depending on the combat task, the UCAV will be equipped with various combinations of missiles and electronic equipment, Paschenko said.

The design of the new UCAV will be created in 2016 and designer's documents in 2017, the Ukroboronprom said.
