The drone was developed by the Estonian company Threod Systems. It can reach a speed of 110 km/h and has a range of 120 km. The radius is no more than 50 km.
Last week, the Sergey Prytula Charitable Foundation launched a fundraiser for five unmanned aerial systems, each consisting of a control station and three drones. The purchase of the EOS C VTOL for the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine requires ₴120 million ($3.25 million). More than half of the amount has already been raised.
