Ukrainian drone maker Wild Hornets said it had set a new record for the remote operating range of its Sting interceptor drone, adding that the pilot was outside the country while flying the drone over northern Ukraine.

The company said the pilot was about 2,000 kilometers away from the drone.

Wild Hornets said the operation used Hornet Vision Ctrl technology, which it has already begun deploying at scale.

On April 4, the company said a Ukrainian pilot named Roman, call sign Hulk, from the Bulava unit used a Sting interceptor drone and Hornet Vision Ctrl technology to shoot down two Shahed drones from 500 kilometers away.

On March 12, The Wall Street Journal, citing its own sources, reported that Saudi oil giant Saudi Aramco was in talks with at least two Ukrainian companies about buying interceptor drones to protect its oil fields from Iranian attacks.

Those sources said Saudi Aramco representatives were negotiating with the Ukrainian companies SkyFall and Wild Hornets.

On March 13, Wild Hornets denied reports that it was in talks with Persian Gulf countries about supplying its drones.
