50 million hryvnias, the equivalent of 50 strike drones, was one of Cosmolot's contributions to Ukraine's Victory. But why just 50? Divided interests within the gambling industry, despite the troubles, persisted in helping the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Cosmolot clarified that these funds weren't donations but their own finances.
Prepare for a surge in drones on the frontlines, not just any drones, but the mighty PUNISHER — reusable strike drones backed with additional modernization kits, making UAVs resilient against electronic warfare. Developed by a team of Ukrainian veterans, PUNISHER is due to have the lowest mission cost globally.
"PUNISHER is a high-precision alternative to long-range artillery or rocket weapons, engaging enemy targets up to 45 km away. The system ensures the destruction of targets with a 'first shot' and minimal risk to civilian casualties," the developers' website states.
The initial batch of 50 combat-ready drones will be dispatched to the most accomplished operators, who've been thoroughly trained by PUNISHER instructors and demonstrated remarkable efficiency in combat situations.
As for the reasons behind the development of the PUNISHER drone, it could be part of Ukraine's broader strategy to modernize its military, increasing operational efficiency and potentially reducing costs. The reusable nature of these drones also provides operational flexibility, making them an asset in protracted conflicts. On the economic front, it pushes domestic technology boundaries, fostering technological advancements.
If PUNISHER does exist, it would likely share features common among advanced strike drones like reusability, strike capability, extended range and endurance, precision targeting, stealth design, and AI autonomous systems.
