Monobank co-founder Yatsenko has invested $8 million in the production of UAVs for the Ukrainian army
It is noted that these UAVs are needed to overcome enemy electronic warfare and air defence
The total investment in equipment has now exceeded $3 million, and the total investment is $8 million. The plan is to start production of a DJI Mavic analogue, but using an EW-protected control channel, says Volodymyr Yatsenko.
This was reported by AIN.UA.
The entrepreneur noted that he planned to double production capacity. Last year, he launched the production of Ukrainian Dovbush T10 drones, the goal of the project was to create a low-cost UAV adapted to combat missions.
"The Dovbush is a medium-sized tactical UAV with the ability to operate as an artillery spotter at a range of up to 35 km, including using an inertial navigation system if there is no GPS signal, or as a strike drone with a payload of up to 12 kg of ammunition.
The Dovbush T10 costs UAH 500,000, and I believe that mid-range UAVs with conventional optics should not cost much more. Anything that is sold for more than $15,000 is speculation on the war," the entrepreneur said.
