The Bavarian company Quantum Systems supplies surveillance drones for the Ukrainian armed forces. This was announced today by the head of the Gilching-based company. The US military and the German armed forces also use the Bavarian drones.
The Gilching-based company Quantum Systems recently presented its drones at a defense technology trade fair. The first of these high-tech flying objects have already been delivered to Ukraine.
Further deliveries are planned for the next few days, company CEO Florian Seibel told RND. The drones are part of the weapon deliveries from Germany to help Ukrainian forces fight off the Russian army.
The so-called Vector drone “made in Gilching” costs 180,000 euros, according to the company’s chief executive, flies for up to two hours and delivers high-resolution real-time video. The RND report said “the Ukrainian army plans to use the German drones to optimize its artillery fire in upcoming battles.” Britain’s Times has also reported on the arms deal with Ukraine.
Company boss Seibel told RND that US special forces had also recently ordered Vector drones worth seven million euros. He added that the German armed forces ordered eight drones last week.

Looks like Germany is going to be one of Ukraine’s top arms suppliers by the end of the year, if the war actually drags on that long
