Ukraine confirms remote drone control from 2,000 km

A Ukrainian pilot has successfully controlled an interceptor drone in northern Ukraine while located 2,000 kilometers outside the country, marking a world first for such remote operations. The system, called HORNET VISION Ctrl and developed by Wild Hornets, previously allowed a pilot from the BULAVA unit to down two targets. This development is part of a systematic Ukrainian effort to move UAV pilots to remote operations to preserve highly qualified specialists. The capability significantly extends the potential reach and safety of Ukraine's drone warfare against Russian forces.
