Previously, the company said that the equipment will be tested in the Ukraine war during the current year.

Drones have gained a special relevance in this conflict, both as a means of exploring and collecting information and as a weapon.

Both camps are constantly using them against both enemy forces and important economic objectives, often at great front distances.
