Ukrainian Company to Produce Raybird Drones in EU
Ukrainian manufacturer of unmanned aerial systems Skyeton has demonstrated its production of Raybird drones in the European Union.
The Gaze reports on this with reference to The Defender.
The drones are already being delivered to customers in partner countries.
Production is organised at the Tropozond s.r.o. plant in Slovakia, which is part of the Skyeton Group. The company conducted a short video tour of the new production facilities, demonstrating the process of creating drones.
Skyeton is known for its unmanned aerial systems (UAS), in particular the Raybird-3 system, which is one of their key developments. Raybird-3 is a modern unmanned system designed for reconnaissance missions and search and rescue operations.
It has two modifications: civilian and military ACS-3. The military version is equipped with protection against electronic warfare and is capable of flying in automatic mode. The drone can stay in the air for more than 24 hours, covering 2,000 km, and the operator can control it from a distance of up to 240 km.
The company recently announced a strategic partnership with Danish company Quadsat, which specialises in radio frequency research. Together, they will develop an aviation electronic reconnaissance complex based on a special Danish-made QS RF Locator suspension module and the Ukrainian ACS-3 Raybird UAV.
As The Gaze reported earlier, Czech defence giant Czechoslovak Group has almost completed the construction of a production line for 155 mm artillery shells in Ukraine.
