According to the report, Bordeaux-based EOS Technologie has delivered its flagship Rodeur 330 unmanned aerial systems to Ukraine in support of the country’s almost four-year defense against Russia
The report stated that the move serves as the first shipment of the interceptor drones to Kyiv, where they will be distributed as part of a broader strategy to replenish Ukraine’s stockpile.
Jean-Marc Zuliani, president at EOS Technologie, told the outlet that the Rodeurs will act as “shield” for the Ukrainian Armed Forces by undertaking intelligence tasks or kamikaze attacks. The CEO added that this initiative also backs industrial efforts between France and Ukraine, matching Moscow’s production of 1,000 drones daily and countering thousands of them by deploying inexpensive drones.
The report added that the Rodeur 330 has already been tested to neutralize a tank through first-person-view control, and has proven effective against a simulated threat while fully automated.
Additionally, the drone is launched via a catapult and controlled using a gamepad. It said that it has a loitering time of up to 5 hours, a range of 500 kilometers (311 miles), a flight ceiling of 5,000 meters (16,404 feet), and a top speed of 120 kilometers (75 miles) per hour. The system is offered along with a specialized flight case, rugged laptop, radio control transmitter, and antenna set.
