The Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation has handed over a batch of Shark drones manufactured by the Ukrainian company Ukrspecsystems to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The volunteer announced this on his social media accounts.
The 24th Mechanized Brigade “King Daniel of Galicia” received one system, which includes a control station and two drones.
It is reported that the 59th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade, named after Yakiv Handziuk, already had a control station, so it requested one drone.
The value of the donated aid is estimated at UAH 8.5 million.
In September 2023, Militarnyi reported that all 25 Shark unmanned aircraft systems, which the Come Back Alive Foundation had purchased together with the OKKO filling station network, were transferred to the troops.
In addition, the Defense Forces of Ukraine have received the MiniShark UAV, which is a smaller version of the Shark UAV.
According to the developers, MiniShark was created because of the military’s need for a lightweight, compact reconnaissance UAV.
One of its advantages is its hand-held launch and easy transportation. The entire system fits in two backpacks.
Drones by Ukrspecsystems conduct reconnaissance, targeting, and recording of artillery damage to various targets.
For example, Shark drone was used to detect and record the defeat of the Russian Supercam S350 UAV.
The drones have good protection against enemy electronic warfare and a large operating range of 60-80 kilometers, depending on the modification.
