Ukraine’s intel has unleashed a flotilla of FPV kamikaze drones designed to destroy enemy equipment, as demonstrated in a video released by HUR on May 2. 

The footage shows a successful attack on enemy equipment.

"Today we can already observe the results of our pilots' work," the military intelligence said.

“We are destroying the occupiers and liberating our country from the invaders.”

In January, the HUR’s Kryla (“Wings”) special unit announced the creation of its own "flotilla". They began raising funds to purchase 1,000 FPV (First Person View) drones for the new strike group.

This type of UAV can be used for both intelligence gathering and as a sniper weapon from a distance of up to 10 kilometers. The drones are equipped with cameras and advanced communications systems.

Dear reader, as all news organizations, we must balance the pressures of delivering timely, accurate, and relevant stories with requirements to fund our business operations.

Please help us continue fighting Russian propaganda.

Truth can be hard to tell from fiction these days. Every viewpoint has its audience of backers and supporters, no matter how absurd.

If conscious disinformation is reinforced by state propaganda apparatus and budget, its outcomes may become deadly.

There is no solution to this, other than independent, honest, and accurate reporting.

We remain committed to empowering the Ukrainian voice to push against the muck. If you’re willing to stand up for the truth – consider supporting us on Patreon starting from 5$ per month. Thank you very much.

Twenty years ago, most people hadn’t even heard of Ukraine. Today, the country is on everyone’s lips and everyone’s headlines. War pushed us on the front page. But there are many other things we do that we are proud of – from music and culture to technology.

We need your help to tell the world Ukrainian story of resilience, joy, and survival. If you’re willing to back our effort, consider supporting us on Patreon starting from 5$ per month. We are immensely grateful.
