The Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation has handed over a batch of Perun loitering munitions to the Security Service of Ukraine.

The SSU press service reported on this.

The soldiers of the Special Operations Center “A” received 5 Perun drones and 3 ground control stations for work on the front line.

With the help of this equipment, Ukrainian soldiers will destroy enemy tanks and other armored vehicles and enemy military targets on the front line.

The Security Service of Ukraine noted that these unmanned systems were manufactured in Ukraine and equipped with the latest navigation and targeting systems.

“In this way, the SSU soldiers will inflict the most accurate fire damage on the enemy,” the agency emphasized.

The Perun unmanned aerial vehicles and related equipment were purchased by the Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation with donations from people. In total, more than UAH 4 million was spent on this batch of drones.

In May, the Come Back Alive Foundation transferred a PD-2 unmanned tactical reconnaissance system to the Special Forces of the Security Service of Ukraine.

It is reported that the officers of the SSU Counterintelligence Department had received the system. The Foundation shared that the cost of the transferred equipment was almost UAH 30 million.

This system is the eleventh one that has been transferred to the Defense Forces of Ukraine, and it includes:

• two reconnaissance UAVs capable of staying in the air for 10-12 hours in a row and detecting enemy objects day and night;
• a ground station;
• mobile control post, equipped on the basis of a four-wheel drive minibus.

Each drone has an optical observation station with 30x zoom for the daytime channel and 5x zoom for the thermal imaging channel.

This allows conducting detailed reconnaissance at a distance of 5 kilometers from the drone, and the observation one from even further away. Operators control UAVs from mobile control posts.
