Some European manufacturers of unmanned aerial vehicles are trying to identify and steal the technological secrets of Ukrainian companies to then use this data in their own marketing campaigns and falsify combat tests.
This was told by the CEO of the Ukrainian company Skyton Roman Knyazhenko in an interview with The Telegraph.
According to him, some Western manufacturers declare combat tests after just a few short flights made far from the front.
“As a result, European governments have invested billions of pounds in systems that do not actually work, distracting resources from the defense of their countries and supporting Ukraine,” the newspaper said.
Knyazhenko added that he often comes to the office of drones with proposals for cooperation, but in fact it is used to gather secret information.
“Some companies promise a lot to communicate more, to find out about our decisions that work on the battlefield and then disappear. Then they create vivid presentations about their work in Ukraine, although they actually conducted only a few flights in Lviv, ”the Skyton manager explained.
He also noted that often in the presentations of European drones you can find literally his own words, without any changes.
Knyazhenko gave an example with the supply of cameras for their drone Raybird from the European company, of which only half were working.
According to him, the main problem is misunderstanding by European producers of difficulties related to the creation of combat DAVs.
“They think that when they visit our factory, they will be able to easily reproduce technology. But this is not the case – three years of work here are equal to twenty years of peacetime, ”Knyazhenko stressed.
He also added that most countries are “far behind” from Ukraine in the field of combating drones.
Instead of financing the Western startups, the Skyton manager called for investing in the development of Ukrainian plants, even placing production in Europe.
It should be reminded that the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine codied and allowed operation in the Armed Forces of Ukraine (Armed Forces) mobile workshops “Skhlokray”. The system is intended for repair and maintenance of drones.
Also the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine It was allowed For the operation of the Armed Forces a new automatic AGL-53 grenade launcher 40 mm.
Ministry of Defense of Ukraine codified and allowed to operate in the Armed Forces of Ukraine the unmanned aerial complexes of Winfly Ukrainian production.
