A batch of Grey Widow 1 kamikaze drones was produced for the SSU

The Security Service of Ukraine has received a batch of new Grey Widow 1 kamikaze drones.

The manufacturer of the drones, Heavenly Punishment, said that the drones had been delivered to the SSU’s Special Operations Center “A”.

“The tray of Grey Widow 1 drones is already with the pilots of “A”! Good hunting, pilots,” the statement reads.

It is stated that these attack drones are maneuverable and fast (up to 120 km/h).

“They fly far, with a hit record of 52 kilometers,” said the KOLO Foundation, which previously provided these drones to the Defense Forces.

To enable the drone to fly over long distances, it can be paired with a Matrice 300 repeater drone.

This is a stable connection that provides a high-quality shot until the target is hit.

“Grey Widow is a sneaky bird that appears where it is not expected and is maneuverable enough to hit targets both on and above the ground, and possibly much higher above it,” said the drone’s users.

It is worth noting that Grey Widow drones are quite popular among charitable foundations and regional administrations, which buy them through a tender.

In July of this year, the Cabinet of Ministers adopted a resolution that allows the purchase of domestically produced drones through the closed Prozorro functionality.

With this resolution, manufacturers will have equal access to government contracts, and competition will help the government procure drones at a better price. A customer who wants to buy a UAV places a frame ad on Prozorro with a description of the drone he wants.

Sellers can register in this framework, and then they receive information about the terms, place of delivery, and other data necessary for the purchase. Then an auction is held, and the seller with the most favorable offer wins.
