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!

For what it's worth, my DJI drone flashes low battery around 20% and given the altitude these drones are flying at I wouldn't be surprised if easily more than half of the battery was consumed just getting up there.

The spy craft in me thinks it could also be a false reading to hide the drones true operational range.

That's what I would have suspected because most of the videos show the low battery message. But that would necessiate meddling with the firmware or adding something to falsify the voltage readout, which would add extra work, but maybe it would be worth it to conceal the distance to the takeoff location where probably the ground station is nearby.
