The T12.R features a number of innovative solutions. The bow of the boat is equipped with a ramp that allows for quick landing or evacuation of personnel. The design also features a special side opening, dubbed the "dolphin door" by the soldiers. It allows for the convenient lifting of wounded personnel or cargo directly from the water.
In the Resque configuration, the control console is positioned closer to the stern, and the central area is equipped to accommodate rescue stretchers for the safe transport of the wounded. The boat is also equipped with mounts and modules for installing weapons and special equipment.
Two powerful 400-horsepower engines, combined with modern navigation electronics, provide high speed, exceptional maneuverability, and reliable performance during operations.
The Defense Intelligence of Ukraine stated that its officers had previously carried out a unique evacuation of a seriously wounded soldier at sea, using a boat provided through the "Boats for the DIU" initiative. The Defense Intelligence thanked citizens and philanthropists supporting the strengthening of Ukraine’s forces, highlighting that the new equipment will enhance both the number and effectiveness of operations on the water.
Earlier Defense Express reported that the Azov Brigade had tested Varta-2 armored vehicle in combat. As a result, the vehicle successfully withstood FPV drone attack.
