Literally: “On May 4, at about 20:00 in the Kiev region, during a planned flight, the Bayraktar TB2 UAV lost control. Since the uncontrolled stay of the UAV in the sky of the capital could lead to undesirable consequences, it was decided to use the calculations of mobile fire groups. The target was destroyed!

It’s a pity, but it’s a technique, and it happens.”

Details: The Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine suggested that it was a technical malfunction of the drone.

The causes of the incident are being established.

As a result of combat work and the fall of the wreckage of the UAV, there were no victims or injured.
