The Ukrainian company Wild Hornets, which produces drones for the Defense Forces, including STING interceptor drones, reported that its products caused losses to the Russian army of about $2 billion.
The company clarified that this figure is based on data from open sources, so the real estimate may be higher.
By early October, the Ukrainian military had destroyed 153 tanks, 231 armored vehicles, 124 artillery systems/MLRS, 669 vehicles and ammunition depots, over 600 Iranian-Russian Shahed and Gerber drones, 1,268 reconnaissance and strike drones using Wild Hornets drones. Over 1,000 occupiers and their positions and 4 air defense systems were also hit.
«We are working to ensure that these numbers continue to grow significantly,» the Wild Hornets noted.

A company representative previously said that its STING interceptor drones had intercepted more than 600 Russian UAVs in five months. These interceptors cost tens of times less than their targets.
TheSting drone was first shown last fall. It was the first drone specifically designed to defeat Iranian Shahed drones launched by the Russians. At the same time, the Sting costs much less than the Russian-Iranian drones and can fly at speeds of more than 160 km per hour and climb to an altitude of about 3 km.
