The Ukrainian Defense Ministry reported the information.

It is noted that Poseidon is designed to perform a number of special tasks. The aircraft of the complex have electric motors and a modern navigation system. Poseidon performs tasks at temperatures ranging from -20 °C to +45 °C and in strong winds.  

“The operating altitude of these drones is beyond the reach of many enemy air defense systems,” added Ukraine's Deputy Defense Minister Dmytro Klimenkov.

  • At the end of 2025, the Ministry of Defense, together with a Ukrainian manufacturer, began testing a control center for units armed with drones.
