This was announced by Ukraine's Minister of Digital Transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, on Telegram. 

"The Army of Drones and UNITED24 continue to strengthen the Ukrainian Armed Forces - 179 more drones have gone to the frontline. 146 Mavic 3 and 33 Matrice RTK 300 are distributed throughout the frontline. The "birds" have gone to the Kherson, Donetsk, Kharkiv, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia areas and to the border regions in the north of the country," he emphasized.

Mavic 3 will help the military quickly detect equipment, enemy movements and adjust artillery on Russian positions. These drones shoot video in 4K format, which allows Ukraine's Armed Forces to know the invading Russian forces' location and not come under their fire.

More powerful Matrice RTK 300 drones were transferred to flashpoints so that due to them, the military could find the most camouflaged positions of the Russian forces and work on them with artillery. Ukrainian defenders quickly receive information about the location of the occupiers and destroy them.

  • On July 1, Ukraine announced the launch of the Army of Drones project, which will involve the purchase and repair of drones for Ukraine's Armed Forces and the training of pilots.

  • As of July 7, the first batch of drones went to the front. 

  • On July 25, Mykhailo Fedorov wrote that Ukraine's Armed Forces will purchase drones with artificial intelligence technology worth UAH 260.5 million.

  • On October 4, it was reported that the Army of Drones raised funds for almost a thousand drones for Ukraine's Armed Forces in 3 month.
