The 112th Territorial Defense Brigade received electronic warfare systems, reconnaissance, and attack drones from the Kyiv community.

The Brigade reported on this.

The Ukrainian military received 1200 drones of various types: FPV drones for strikes and Mini Shark reconnaissance systems.

The military was equipped with 60 electronic warfare (EW) systems to protect against attacks by enemy drones.

The cost of the transferred equipment was not disclosed, but the report noted that Kyiv has allocated UAH 400 million from the budget to equip the brigade since the beginning of this year.

“The new equipment batch will be delivered as soon as possible to the units performing missions in the Kherson, Bakhmut, and Kupiansk sectors,” brigade commander Colonel Vladyslav Kosenko shared.

Mini Shark

The Mini Shark is the smallest reconnaissance drone produced by the Ukrainian company Ukrspecsystems. The larger version of the Shark drone is actively used by the Ukrainian Defense Forces for reconnaissance and adjustment of artillery and missile strikes.

The drone’s flight duration is 2 hours with a full load and can rise to a maximum altitude of 3 kilometers. The communication range at which the drone can transmit camera images to the operator does not exceed 35 km.

The whole system is packed in two backpacks: the first one holds two drones and two cameras, and the second one contains a control station and spare parts. Two people are required to operate the system. The drone is launched by hand without the use of a catapult.

The Mini Shark is equipped with a USG-261 gyro-stabilized camera with a 10x optical zoom and Full-HD image. The camera software also has a digital image stabilizer.

These systems should qualitatively enhance the capabilities of the soldiers of the Territorial Defense Brigade to reconnoiter the operational situation and enemy rear areas, as well as to adjust artillery.

In April of this year, the Come Back Alive Foundation successfully completed the Long Hands of the Territorial Defense project, within which Territorial Defense units were reinforced with 120-mm mortars and other related equipment.
