One thousand anti-aircraft drones, two hundred downed Russian wings and $1.23 billion of destroyed Russian equipment

▪️In three months, we produced and handed over 1,000 anti-aircraft drones

▪️They shot down more than 200 Russian wings

▪️The lack of eyes in the sky in Russia saved the lives of thousands of soldiers and civilians

▪️Further more - we are preparing for serial production of Shahed fighters

Our second unique product is Ukraine’s largest FPV-drone “Queen of Hornets”, more than six hundred of which appeared at the front in a few months.

In total, more than 15,000 “Wild Hornets” were transferred. OSINTers calculated only from the published videos of the damage that the “Wild Hornets” destroyed enemy equipment worth $1.23 billion.

But we would not have been able to do this without the trust and financial support of our friends: volunteers, foundations, entrepreneurs and thousands of caring Ukrainians and military personnel.

Thank you for your trust!

    Those warnings have been so common in Ukraine drone footage that I suspect it’s wrong and a result of mismatched batteries from what the firmware expects and/or added/modified equipment on the drone (like a bomb?) wired into the battery in a way that changes the resistance reading or whatever the battery warning is using to deem it ‘low battery’

    Sort of like how the “flashlight on” message constantly pops up with drones that drop grenades. They’re not turning on a flashlight, the wires that send the voltage to turn on the light have been rewired to a solenoid or something that mechanically releases the grenade. When they push the flashlight button the bomb drops. They just never bothered to mess with the drone firmware to suppress that on screen message about a flashlight.

      The betaflight low battery warning is voltage based. It looks like they’re using the default “low voltage” and “land now” thresholds which only matter if you don’t want to damage the batteries.
