The Ukrainian military effectively used a Shark drone at night to strike the invaders.
The FLIGHT CLUB unit, part of the 92nd Separate Assault Brigade, shared a video of various targets being hit.
The operation also involved Achilles and Code 92 unmanned systems units.
Infantry fighting vehicles, tanks, infantry on motorcycles, artillery systems, and places of Russian concentration were hit.
“The targets were hit within ten days in August,” the FLIGHT CLUB unit said.
This success was made possible by a special camera installed on Shark drones by Ukrspecsystems.

Shark is optimal for most missions, with a 30X daytime Full HD camera and a nighttime thermal imaging camera.
To work in the dark, the company has developed the USG-231T camera with a thermal imaging module that allows you to shoot high-quality video in low light or complete darkness.
USG-231T sensor
This is a nighttime lightweight gyro-stabilized optoelectronic system specially designed for use on fixed-wing platforms.
The Ukrainian company has also developed the USG-261T night vision sensor for drones. The small camera is specially designed for small fixed-wing platforms and multicopters.

These cameras have enabled the Ukrainian military to effectively target Russian invaders in the dark.
As a reminder, Ukraine’s Ukrspecsystems has licensed the Polish defense industry to produce its advanced drones. Polish ALS Systems received licenses to produce SHARK, MINI SHARK and PD-2 reconnaissance drones.
Wonderful how the AFU doesn’t let the cockroaches rest or move even at night.
Drones are for Ukraine like food, water, and oxygen. They have become vital for survival. For as long as the West lacks a spine to finally do a lot more than just expel worthless words, place restrictions on the country, and send aid that’s too little, too late, this will not change.
