Ukrainian banker and one of the founders of Monobank Vladimir Yatsenko initiated the launch of a project to develop drones for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

What is known

Engineers from Dnepr created a drone with different configurations to bypass enemy air defense systems and more effectively achieve their goals. The developed universal frame allows for 60 minutes to modify the UAV for the required task.

The goal of the project is to develop an effective and inexpensive drone that will overcome the enemy's REB and air defense. Yatsenko notes that the created drone is one of the best in the world according to these indicators. New technologies allow evading air defense systems, while low price levels out the damage if the drone is destroyed.

Within a year Ukraine will be able to surpass Russia both in quantity and quality of UAVs. Volodymyr Yatsenko is now dealing with logistical issues. The project buys components in batches of at least 100 drones. Sometimes such volumes create problems even for Chinese companies. At the same time there is no question of financing at the moment.
