Fedorov said the drones flew distances up to 25 kilometers and struck targets while subjected to different types of electronic warfare (EW).

“Some designs fully completed all tasks in conditions as close to combat as possible,” he added.

“Our task is to scale these technologies in the military as quickly as possible and ensure accelerated deliveries, so units receive effective tools immediately after results are confirmed.”

Fedorov also noted incoming international funding for Ukraine’s drone industry: recent agreements with partner countries have earmarked $2.5 billion is earmarked for Ukrainian drones.
