The video was published by a representative of Serhiy Prytula Charitable Foundation. According to him, the cost of the R18 drone complex is $55,000. How many drones are included in the complex is not specified, but it is likely to be two or three units.
The developer of the strike drone is Aerorozvidka. In September 2022 a Ukrainian non-profit organisation claimed that R18 drones destroyed $130m worth of Russian military equipment. Naturally, this amount has increased in more than six months. So, waiting for a new report.
