Soldiers of the Ukrainian Defense Forces have received a large batch of attack drones from the KOLO Charitable Foundation. The foundation handed over the drones and shared photos of them on its Facebook page. The exact number, cost, and unit to which these drones were transferred have not been disclosed due to the secrecy of the project. However, the foundation mentioned that these drones are expensive, making the total cost of delivery a record for the KOLO Charitable Foundation. The foundation stated that these attack UAVs will be used to hunt for important targets beyond the contact line of conflict. The origins of the incident lie in the charitable foundation’s initiative to support the Ukrainian Defense Forces with valuable and expensive drones.
Additionally, the Ukrainian company, Skyeton, has started production of Raybird-3 reconnaissance systems in Slovakia. The production began in spring 2024, and the company has invested $3.5 million to launch it. The Slovak plant currently has the capacity to build 25 reconnaissance systems per year, and after the investment round is completed, the capacity will be quadrupled. Skyeton is currently seeking $15 million in investments for the expansion. The Raybird-3 systems are not exportable due to martial law restrictions in Ukraine, but the plant in Slovakia does not face these limitations, thus opening up more opportunities in the global market. The incident highlights the expansion of production capabilities and potential market reach for the Raybird-3 reconnaissance systems.
