As Ukraine celebrates the Day of Defenders on October 1st, the central city of Vinnytsia sent the first batch of Shchedryk reconnaissance drones to the army, authorities report.
What is the problem?
In the new stage of war, drones are one of the most vital and reliable tools to safely destroy the enemy. Its purpose is to reconnoiter and eliminate targets in the operational and tactical depths of the enemy's territory with RK-2P guided missiles with a range of up to 10 km.
Instead of being armed, the drone can carry several suspended electronic warfare stations.
Drones are the "eyes" of Ukraine's military. They let conduct reconnaissance along the entire frontline, detecting Russian forces and enemy equipment, and remotely adjusting artillery fire. The drones are equipped with thermal imagers, so the Ukrainian military make sure that the enemies are no visible within the range.
Ukrainians are actively helping to purchase them and raising funds for more drones, as the soldiers need thousands of vehicles to effectively fight the aggressor.
