The Ukrainian company Skyeton, which produces unmanned aviation systems, launches the production of drones in Slovakia. This is reported by Defense Industry Europe, reports UNN.
Details
According to the publication, Skyeton produces ACS-3/Raybird-3 reconnaissance systems, which have been in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine since 2018. Each system, which costs 1 1.2 million, consists of three UAVs, a portable ground control station, an antenna system, a launcher, as well as a video camera, camera and radar.
Such UAVs can stay in the air for 28 hours, cover a distance of up to 2500 km and reach an altitude of up to 4500 meters, the material says.
In Ukraine, Skyeton can produce about 100 intelligence systems per year, while the needs of the Ukrainian army are 140 systems per year. Instead, a new plant in Slovakia helps bridge this gap and should provide a strategic advantage. It can produce 25 Systems a year, the article says.
From February 2022 to May 2024, Skyeton received orders from the Ukrainian Defense Forces for more than 75 intelligence systems.
