"We received 5,000 FPV drones from Operation Unity this week. This is a joint effort by UNITED24, the Come Back Alive foundation, and monobank, which raised UAH 235 million. All drones arrive at the front already with an explosive payload, so every drone is combat-ready. Another 5,000 drones from this batch will arrive really soon," Fedorov said.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, on October 10, Fedorov reported that the Ukrainians had created the Himera radio, which is resistant to Russia’s e-warfare systems.
