Judging by the list of drones, drones and helicopters, very soon many interesting “toys” will appear on the front that can strengthen the resistance of the Armed Forces against invaders.
Which drones will appear on the front soon?
Therefore, according to Fedorov, they have already agreed to purchase 78 Matrice multirotors operating on the basis of artificial intelligence. This helps them record high-quality and detailed videos, focus on targets and identify potential hazards from afar. “Birds” will help our soldiers navigate the battlefield better and act more thoughtfully and tactically.
In addition to a number of helicopters, it was also decided to purchase 2 ground complexes for 20 Warmate kamikaze attack aircraft, which will be purchased thanks to the monobank initiative.
However, Mykhailo Fedorov focused most on 20 Fly Eye drones.
And the superstar purchase is 20 Fly Eye, one of the best scout drones in the world. We achieved this, among other things, thanks to the enormous contribution of Maksym Polyakov, an entrepreneur in the field of space technology, who very well understands the importance of technological superiority at the front. Maksym has transferred over 100 million hryvnia to the Drone Army! Thank you for such support! Fly Eye deserves a separate post, I’ll tell you about them separately,
– said the minister.
And as we prepare an additional post with information about Fly Eye drones, we will talk about the drones that will come to the fore soon.
Briefly about Fly Eye
Fly Eye is an unmanned aircraft complex developed by Flytronic engineers, a subsidiary of WB Electronics. It was presented for the first time at the Eurosatory exhibition in Paris on 14 June 2010. As early as the end of 2010, WB Electronics won a tender to supply this complex to one of Poland’s special-purpose units.
A few words about Warmate
Warmate kamikaze drones are also a development from WB Electronics, first presented in 2014. According to the manufacturer, these drones are a good alternative to guided anti-tank missiles. They can destroy enemy equipment at greater distances and simplify the process of identifying and influencing targets compared to ATGMs.
And finally – Matrix
We’re talking about the commercial DJI Matrice 300 RTK quadcopter, which can probably stay in the air for almost an hour. The quadcopter has a six-way positioning system and obstacle avoidance. The drone body is protected against water according to the IP45 standard.
About the “Army of Drones” initiative
Ukrainian authorities are trying to supply the military with drones at the joint expense of the state, business and citizens. The purpose of such a step is to assist in the fight against Russian troops and bring them closer to NATO standards.
Under the project “Drone Army”, in addition to government funding and donations from commercial structures, it is planned to collect donations from the public in the form of ready-made drones, as well as donations from Ukrainians and foreigners. The needs of the Ukrainian army
