Shoots metal bullets. A special drone for Ukraine has been developed in Finland.

The Finnish company Insta has created the Steel Eagle drone with an extended range, which will be sold on the Ukrainian market. Ukrainian specialists participated in the drone’s development. This was reported by Yle.

The drone includes a propeller developed by Insta's Ukrainian partner, a radio signal system for control, data transmission function, and pilot goggles. The goggles have a 'first person' mode that allows the pilot to see the surrounding environment from the drone's perspective.

Finland has also developed a charge with explosives that releases steel and tungsten bullets. Tungsten is a hard metal that was previously used to create filaments for incandescent bulbs. This material has the highest melting and boiling points among all elements. In general, such bullets can penetrate the roof of a car from a height of several dozen meters. The drone’s charge is intended to target infantry. According to Yle, if soldiers were on a territory the size of a football field, three such drones would be enough to kill or injure them.

The drone has a large range and the ability to operate even in difficult conditions. The project's presentation will take place at the SecD Day event in Helsinki.

According to the Finnish Defence and Aerospace Industries Association, in addition to Insta, Ukrainian companies are collaborating with more than 10 defense companies in the country.

For example, Russian drone attacks 'Molniya' in Kharkiv, which contain metal balls, became a threat to people on the streets. These drones cannot penetrate walls, roofs, or car doors, but they can cause harm. This was reported by Dmytro Chubenko, spokesman for the Kharkiv regional prosecutor's office.

Also, a group of fighters from the UAV battalion 'Steel Lions' of the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed a rare experimental reconnaissance drone 'Merlin-WR' belonging to the occupiers. A video of the destruction was published by the 63rd OMBr on Facebook.
