“These drones are significantly cheaper than conventional Mavics,” Brave1 stated, highlighting their cost-efficiency and operational potential. They are capable of carrying up to 3 kilograms of payload and offer the advantage of being reusable platforms.
Brave1 emphasised that the drones are effective against both enemy personnel and fortified positions, making them valuable assets on the battlefield. The testing aimed to assess their suitability for frontline deployment under realistic combat conditions.
To ensure the practical integration of FPV bombers into Ukraine’s defence system, Brave1 conducted the trials in cooperation with experts from Ukraine’s Security and Defence Forces. This collaboration allowed manufacturers to receive feedback based on actual military requirements.
The event was supported by Brigadier General Andrii Lebedenko, deputy commander in chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Armed Forces Innovation Directorate. His involvement reflects the strategic importance of advancing unmanned aerial capabilities within Ukraine’s defence framework.
