Das @tagesspiegel.de über die ukrainischen STING-Drohnenjäger:
🔗 www.tagesspiegel.de/internationa...

„Europas Interesse ist gestiegen“: Was kann der innovative Sting-Drohnenjäger der Ukraine?

Der Hersteller von Sting-Abfangdrohnen beschreibt diese als „schnelle“ und vor allem „kostengünstige Lösung“. Damit dürfte der Jäger nun auch für EU- und Nato-Staaten interessant werden.
