Shield AI confirmed the use of V-Bat unique drones in Ukraine: what did they help the Armed Forces

Shield AI indicated that its unmanned aircraft with a vertical take-off and landing system (VTOL) under the name V-Bat was used in real combat conditions to evaluate the characteristics and resistance to Russian remedies. The drones were brought to Ukraine for the first time in June 2024 with the company specialists, they successfully completed combat missions, despite the suppression of GPS navigation and communication signals.

For example, the V-Bat helped the Ukrainian military find the anti-aircraft missile complex "Beech M1" of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and find out its coordinates. The target was soon destroyed by the Himars Wall Fire system. This operation has shown the ability of UAV to conduct intelligence and observation, as well as its effectiveness with the support of shock tasks.

"In Ukraine, V-Bat demonstrated resistance to radio electronic struggle, demonstrating autonomy in the most difficult conditions and fulfilling the first successful mission for intelligence, observation and targeting in the conditions of long and long-term functioning in conditions of interference and communication,"-said Shield AI. . The manufacturer has already put about 250 drones of V-Bat around the world, making them at its factory in Dallas, Texas.

Aircraft use US Special Operations Command (SOCOM), the US Marine Corps, and the US Coast Guard is expected to receive its first units of 2025. V-Bat is intended to replace old intelligence systems and create new drones for different customers. It is represented as a universal solution for various combat scenarios due to the ability to take vertically in combination with long flight and good resistance to HRB.

The deployment of Shield AI in Ukraine emphasizes the growing dependence on modern UAVs to counteract changing threats and accurate missions. The success of the V-Bat company demonstrates how innovations in autonomous systems change warfare and strengthen the operational opportunities on the front line, according to the media.
