German company Quantum-Systems has opened a plant in Ukraine to produce drones.

Here's What We Know

The information was shared by the publication Militarnyi. The plant was launched this spring. It already produces Vector drones for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. So far, the company is assembling drones from ready-made kits that come from Germany, but in the future the company wants to localise the production of some elements of the design.

Flashback

Vector is a reconnaissance UAV with a fixed wing. Such a drone can take off and land vertically. It has a low-noise engine and encrypted IP communication that transmits a video stream. The drone has a flight time of up to 120 minutes. It can fly at speeds of up to 72 kilometres per hour.

Ukraine has been operating the Vector UAV since the beginning of the full-scale war with Russia. By the way, the drone has received several upgrades since then. For example, it was equipped with a sensor with AI, as well as a special antenna for better communication.
