The Ukrainian Backfire drone has passed the Defense Ministry's commission and may soon be in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister for Innovation, Education, Science and Technology Development - Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov, UNN reports.
Details
So far, the Backfire UAV has been tested at the front - in two months, the military has completed at least 50 successful missions. It is noted that the developers are cooperating with the consolidated unit "Angry Birds" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which help to improve the UAV.

The "Bird" has already passed the Defense Ministry commission and is awaiting an order for authorization to operate. This means that the state will officially be able to purchase these drones. The team of creators is already preparing for mass production of the UAV
Addendum
According to Fedorov, thanks to the GPS antenna, which is almost impossible to jam, the drone is very resistant to enemy electronic warfare. Due to the complete autonomy of the drone, the enemy cannot calculate its coordinates and ground crew, which makes it possible to protect operators.
Backfire is an attack drone from Ukrainian developers who are part of the Brave1 defense cluster. The UAV flies up to 35 kilometers behind enemy lines and helps to destroy Russian artillery, logistics hubs, enemy warehouses and command posts
To recap
Over the past week, the "Drone Army" destroyed 214 pieces of Russian equipment, including 39 tanks and 31 cannons. Ukrainian soldiers continue to successfully turn enemy equipment into scrap metal.
