Slovenia secretly handed over a batch of Belin drones to the Ukrainian Armed Forces
C-Astral, a company operating in the Slovenian market, covertly handed over a batch of Belin drones to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Now the company’s engineers are busy improving the security of the new version of the Belin-V drone. They want to make the aircraft invulnerable to enemy electronic warfare systems.
In an interview with Defense News, company employee Jernej Moderk said that C-Astral engineers receive feedback from the Ukrainian military. Data from Ukraine is used to improve drones.
The representative of the Slovenian company refused to name the size of the UAV batch handed over to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. He only said that the Ukrainian army received several unmanned systems from C-Astral relatively recently.
The Belin drone was originally designed for intelligence gathering, surveillance and reconnaissance. To launch it, you need a catapult. Belin can stay in the sky for up to three hours. The range of the line-of-sight communication channel is 40 km.
