The copters of these complexes are reportedly based on different types of frames and equipped with engineering solutions that increase the safety of crews during combat missions.

Due to their high manoeuvrability and speed, WINFLY drones can not only perform reconnaissance operations but also effectively counter enemy reconnaissance drones by intercepting them in the air. In addition, the drones have enhanced resistance to enemy electronic warfare.

As a reminder, on 31 January, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal said that over the past year, the capabilities of the domestic defence industry have increased significantly: drone production in 2023-2024 increased 10-fold, artillery production - three-fold, anti-tank weapons - two-fold, and ammunition production - 2.5-fold.

According to him, more than 96% of drones used by Ukraine are now domestically produced. At the same time, the country has more than 800 public and private defence companies.
