However, the drone managed to return. The drone is currently undergoing repairs to return to operational status.
Sharpin emphasizes that combat operations have had a positive impact on the development of Vector drones, noting that they have already logged thousands of flight hours in Ukraine under challenging conditions.
In 2023, it was announced that Ukraine would begin producing spare parts and assembling German Vector drones. In 2024, the company's manufacturing facility in Ukraine was officially opened.
Earlier, Defense Express reported that a unique acoustic artillery detector had been created for the Vector UAV.
