Contract breakdown for 7 billion hryvnias: 100,000 fiber optic drones will not reach the front

The company Vyriy received state contracts for the supply of over 100,000 fiber-optic drones and an advance payment from the AOZ, but the fulfillment of obligations was disrupted. This concerns a supply worth over 7 billion hryvnias, and the drones did not reach the front line on time.

The official reason for the disruption, as stated by the company, is a sharp increase in prices for fiber-optic components by Chinese suppliers, which made it impossible to purchase the components under the previous conditions. In the public space, there are accusations that the funds may have been effectively misappropriated.

Vyriy — a drone manufacturer founded by Oleksiy Babenko.
