russia, ukraine, united states - Discover the features and capabilities of the TraMP drone, which is making headlines not just for its versatility but also for its unique name.

Speculation abounds about the inspiration behind the aircraft's moniker. Although no official reason has been given for the nickname, it could simply be a playful nod towards the outgoing American President, Donald Trump. The Republican leader has his own set of views on Russia, of course.

The acronym actually hints at the type of drone it is. Designed to provide transport and logistical support for Russian military operations, especially in the occupied eastern regions of Ukraine, this cargo drone is meant to carry heavy loads over long distances, even under challenging conditions. The design allows for quick and easy repairs and maintenance in the field, with components like wings, engine, and landing gear being replaceable on-site. A reinforced landing gear enables operations on rough airstrips.

The developers claim that the drone can carry up to 250 kilograms, has a range of over 600 kilometers, and can reach a maximum altitude of 3000 meters. Operating at a speed of 195 kilometers per hour, with a cargo capacity of 2650 liters, the TraMP is capable of transporting large payloads, including cargo that can be air-dropped with a parachute.

The TraMP boasts several features that make it a highly versatile drone. It can deliver goods to hard-to-reach areas and serve as a communication link between different combat drones, intercepting signals beneficial for operators. Additionally, the TraMP includes a system to recover both the drone and its cargo in emergencies.

It could also prove useful in a more direct form of warfare. With its cargo space, the TraMP can double as a launch platform for multiple small combat drones undertaking tactical missions, allowing for the simultaneous deployment of several drones.

Currently, the cargo drone is undergoing testing. The design phase has been completed, and the TraMP is now undergoing ground tests to evaluate its control systems and mechanisms. Engineers are meticulously fine-tuning the design to meet all performance expectations. The first operational flight is scheduled for April.

The concept behind the TraMP is not new. Similar drones with capabilities comparable to this Russian version are being developed worldwide. For instance, the U.S. military is also working on cargo drones with payloads ranging from 136 to 636 kilograms.

The timing of the initial tests coincides with the upcoming inauguration of Trump on January 20. Behind the scenes, the former businessman is already involved in the conflict in Ukraine. Last week, it was revealed that he was preparing for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has also expressed a desire to meet with Trump soon. These discussions, aimed at ending the bloodshed, will likely take place after the inauguration.
