The American company AeroVironment, a manufacturer of kamikaze drones Switchblade, will hand over more than 100 Quantix Recon drones to Ukraine.

Militarnyi informs about this.

AeroVironment, a global leader in intelligent, multi-domain robotic systems, announced on Tuesday, April 19, that it will be donating drones to Ukraine.

The operational training services for the servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Territorial Defense Forces will also be provided at no cost.

This donation will provide Ukrainian drone operators with a tool that could fly undetected by the enemy forces and unaffected by radio frequency jammers, and could offer accurate and rapid reconnaissance of remote, inaccessible areas of the dynamically changing battlefield.

The company notes that AeroVironment is honored to support the people of Ukraine in their fight against Russian invaders.

Quantix Recon UAV is a lightweight, easily deployable, fully automated reconnaissance solution that provides on-demand actionable intelligence using high-resolution, georeferenced terrain, vegetation, and infrastructure imagery.

The UAV can investigate an area of up to 1.6 square kilometers (0.6 square miles), or 20 linear kilometers (12.4 miles), per 45-minute single battery flight.

Delivery of the Quantix Recon UAS is independent of other AeroVironment tactical missile systems and UAVs that are already being provided to Ukraine by the United States Government.

The first half of the donated Quantix Recon UAV shipment is expected to be delivered this week with operational training commencing immediately.

Last week, it was reported that the United States has delivered a “significant number” of Switchblade kamikaze drones to Ukraine.
