AIN reminds our readers that recently another Ukrainian drone startup Buntar Aerospace, had its UAV Buntar-1 successfully complete its first combat flight. The mission took place near Svatovo, Luhansk region, a region known for strong radio-electronic interference. The Buntar-1 maintained a stable connection 98% of the time, as opposed to the usual 30% for other UAVs. The news followed the $200,000 investment deal announced in June, 2024.
