The Ukrainian Defense Forces have received a new batch of FPV strike drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras.

The 500 drones were delivered by the Serhiy Prytula Foundation, at a cost of 18,749,500 hryvnias.

This purchase was funded through donations from supporters and contributions from Uklon and Fest Lokal.

"As summer ends and daylight hours shorten, we are sending another large batch of 500 10-inch FPV drones with thermal imaging cameras to the units. These drones are effective at disrupting logistical routes and destroying enemy equipment during night movements, though they serve additional purposes as well," Serhiy Prytula Foundation said.

As part of the "Swarm of Revenge 24/7" campaign, the fund is seeking contributions for a total of 1,000 FPV drones: 500 10-inch daytime drones and 500 10-inch drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras.

Recently, the Serhiy Prytula Foundation delivered the Shark-D unmanned aerial system to the military units of 11 separate special purpose battalions.

Additionally, Odd Systems, a Ukrainian defense company specializing in FPV drones and their components, is developing a new thermal imaging camera for drones, as reported by Yaroslav Azhniuk, co-founder and CEO of The Fourth Law.
