Ukraine’s Defense Ministry and miltech platform Brave1
tested a new generation of attack FPV (first-person‑view) drones,
Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov announced on April 28.
“Defense Ministry, together with Brave1, tested at a training ground a new generation of strike FPV drones from eight Ukrainian manufacturers,” Fedorov said in a Telegram post.
“Adviser for UAV effectiveness Serhii Sternenko is also
working on the development of this type of FPV.”
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.
