Mar. 17 — Ukrainian military company Pegasus Arms, which produces attack drones and trains drone operators, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with German company Rohde & Schwarz to partner in the field of aerial reconnaissance and electronic support, said Pegasus Arms.

The main goal of the cooperation is to expand the capabilities of Ukrainian drones for military applications, enabling them to detect Russian drones before they launch an attack, the company said in official press-release.

“Pegasus Arms’ drones will now be able to do more than just transport a payload from point A to point B. It will gain new functions that will come as an unpleasant surprise to the enemy,” said Illia Samoshkin, the director of Pegasus Arms.

More than 1,500 of the company’s drones were sent to the frontline, and every second unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine uses them, said the company.

The company produces the Pegasus Arms 25 drone system, which can carry 14 kilograms (~31 pounds) of munitions for air-to-ground strikes or remote mining.

Over 2025, Pegasus Arms 25 pilots have accounted for destroying over 110 Russian tanks, 270 Russian armored vehicles, and 3,000 transport vehicles.

This drone also hit hundreds of dugouts, shelters, artillery, and multiple rocket systems, and killed over 21,000 Russian infantry troops, said Pegasus Arms.
