Good afternoon, friends!

Today I want to tell you about innovation based on Israeli technology, which our Ukrpost is introducing. Last week, the company presented a new service – the delivery of parcels using unmanned aerial devices.

The pilot launch of the first mail delivery drone took place on June, 1 in the town of Bucha of Kyiv region: the drone made the delivery of a parcel on an automatically specified address. The drone for this project was provided by the Israeli company Flytrex, specializing in the production of modern drones.

This “postman” flies at speeds up to 70 km\h. Ukrpost plans to deliver small loads weighing up to a kilogram on the area up to 80 square kilometers. In order to use this service in future, it is necessary just to download a special mobile appendix, specify the place and time when you want to take a parcel and wait for a marvelous postman. The arrived multicopter will hang over the specified place at the height of 16 meters and move down a parcel at a safe cable.

Today, drones are becoming part of everyday life: they are lightweight, mobile and easy to use, impassibility is not a barrier for them, and they are environmentally friendly. They are used in many areas of life, ranging from quick response desk and military services to children's toys. Not so long ago the Israeli army adopted multicopters to collect information: drones will be used by the police units instead of or along with helicopters.

Aerial devices proved themselves in civilian life: they were used to combat the poachers, to gather information during the riots and also during the exercises of rescue services. Nowadays the technologies are developing by leaps and norms of the consumer society are firmly rooted in the life of any person. A rhetorical question is whether it happens for better or worse, but it does. Today, you can live a full life without going out of the office or home: you can order food, clothing, and delivery of any product or item online.

Now, many will say that in the country where there is a war, it is rational to use the drones only at the front. But the peaceful life does not stop, and that's wonderful. Ukraine needs to adopt the latest technology, learn to use them in everyday life, Ukrainians have to “get used” to the highest international standards, just to understand what they are fighting for and aspiring to.
