On April 2, the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that they had shot down a rare Russian drone, the Albatross M5.
This is the first time Ukraine has taken down this type of drone, according to the 63rd Separate Mechanized Brigade on Telegram.
“For the first time, we are taking down a rare Russian drone, the Albatross M5,” the brigade said in a statement.
Earlier investigations by the Cyber Resistance group and the volunteer intelligence project InformNapalm said the drone’s software was linked to the Russian company Kaspersky.
They reported that Kaspersky’s software allowed the drone to use machine vision technology. This means the drone could automatically detect, choose, and follow targets using a built-in neural network.
It was also previously reported that some Russian drones have been fitted with homemade munitions containing dangerous chemicals.
