Dispatches from Ukraine. Day 338.
As Russia’s attack on Ukraine continues and the war rages on, reliable sources of information are critical. Forbes gathers information and provides updates on the situation.
Six ‘Shahed drone hunter’ systems are now in Ukraine, shielding the country’s energy facilities from Russian attacks, says Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine’s Minister of Digital Transformation. They are cutting-edge defense technologies used to protect strategic American facilities. “A complex of radars and jammers helps detect and block enemy UAVs and launches its own drones. The Fortem DroneHunter F700 is an autonomous drone with radar control and artificial intelligence. It flies at a speed of more than 100 km/h, intercepts, and lands enemy drones.” A purchase of these was made possible thanks to fundraising organized by monobank co-founder Oleh Horohovskyy, activist Ihor Lachenkov and the UNITED24 initiative.
