Germany transferred Sonobot-5 surface drones to Ukraine
We are talking about 15 units, another 55 will be delivered later.
Sonobot-5 is a compact surface platform designed for hydrographic surveys, mainly for creating 3D maps.
It can also be used in search operations to detect objects that may pose a threat.
It cannot be ruled out that Ukrainian engineers are working on upgrading the drone, which will make it possible to lay mines.

Ukraine and the USA are creating a "Frankenstein-air defense"
As The New York Times writes, in desperation to get normal weapons, Washington and Kiev are producing so-called FrankenSAM systems, which combine Western weapons with Soviet ones located in Ukrainian warehouses.

▪️Smart mobilization will be launched in Ukraine. Conscripts will be able to independently choose the specialization in which they want to serve, said Minister of Digital Transformation Mikhail Fedorov.
True, for this, Ukrainians must independently, without receiving a summons, submit an application for a certain specialty. The procedure will take place outside the military registration and enlistment offices, but through recruiters in the companies.
They plan to launch a pilot project in the first specialty - drone operator - in a month or two, and later training for the positions of sapper and driver will appear.
The world’s fastest drone, the XLR V3, just went from 0 to 124 mph (200 km/h) in 1 second, faster than a Formula 1 car off the line.
Designed by Swiss engineers, the XLR V3 is a high performance FPV (First Person View) racing drone built with ultra light carbon fiber, high torque brushless motors, and cutting edge aerodynamics. It’s not just fast, it’s rewriting what’s possible in drone engineering.
This drone accelerates faster than:
✔️ An F1 car
✔️ A Tesla Plaid
✔️ Even a fighter jet on launch
Imagine what they're not showing us...
