The Norwegian Black Hornet microdrones are very well suited to the service of the Ukrainian army in the ongoing war with Russia. The drones were purchased by the UK and Norway, which organized joint military assistance to Ukraine.

Drones developed by Proxy Dynamics are extremely useful devices equipped with cameras, weigh 18 grams, have a range of 2 km and can hover in the air for 25 minutes. They are used by the Ukrainian special services, which claim that the equipment is almost invisible and very quiet.

“We flew in windy weather 10 meters from a group of soldiers and no one noticed us. The helicopter is extremely quiet! Against the sky it can be seen from 50 meters. Against the background of a platform / wall, etc., it is difficult to see even from 20” – reports the Black Hornet pilot from the Center Training of UAV Operators “Kruk”.

The website is operated as part of the programme of the Polish Ministry of Education and Science – Social Responsibility of Science.

The project is carried out by Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw.
