Ukrainian reconnaissance men will receive 105 Vector UAVs under the contract between the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the German UAV manufacturer Quantum-Systems GmbH.
Source. This was reported by the press service of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine.
"This is the second batch of Vector drones for the Ukrainian army, funded by the German government. In August 2022, Ukraine ordered and received 33 German UAVs of the same model, and they have shown their high efficiency on the battlefield," the telegram channel said.
It is noted that it takes two minutes to start working with the Vector drone: The assembled UAV has a wingspan of 2.8 meters and can be launched by hand.
The drone is equipped with electro-optical and infrared sensors, which allows it to detect enemy targets around the clock, and the robust design of the drone eliminates the impact of weather factors.
The speed is up to 72 km/h. The duration of one flight is 120 minutes.
In addition, thanks to secure data transmission channels, Vector can broadcast video to ground stations in real time during combat missions.
The UAV is equipped with advanced artificial intelligence capabilities for data analysis: built-in algorithms allow it to automatically identify objects and transmit critical intelligence information to the ground.
"The soldiers of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine express their gratitude to the German people for another important contribution that strengthens the technological superiority of the Ukrainian army and brings Ukraine's victory over aggressive tyranny closer," the DIU said.
Background. As a reminder, the ICEYE satellite helped destroy billions of dollars worth of russian equipment – the intelligence community notes the special role of the "people's satellite" in planning and implementing operations.
