Ukrainian company Ptashka Drones, which develops and manufactures FPV drones and trains engineers and pilots, has announced that its chief engineer for the development of UAV countermeasures was kidnapped by employees of the territorial recruitment and social support centre in the middle of the street in Kyiv. The company announced this in its Telegram, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports
“The TSC kidnapped our chief engineer for the development of UAV countermeasures right on the street on his way to work. We showed them all our documents and confirmed his relation to our company. It didn’t help. There is less than a week left before the criticality and booking,” the company said.
The company itself claims to have civilian obligations to military units and unfinished contracts for the supply of attack drones.
“The engineer is officially employed, we have certificates of civilian obligations to military units and unfinished contracts for the supply of attack drones. We showed him all the documents and explained the situation. But the Holosiivskyi TCC of Kyiv decided that this ‘shooter’ would be more useful tomorrow at the training,” Ptashka Drones said.
It should be noted that Ptashka Drones is a company that in the summer of 2024 developed a homing system that allows an FPV drone to be guided to a target without the participation of an operator.
