Part 2/10:
The European landscape for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has seen substantial growth, with many manufacturers pushing the limits of endurance and versatility on the battlefield. Key players include Slovenia’s C Astral drone, the Danish Hydron drone from Skywatch, and the combined efforts of the British and Portuguese company, Te. These fixed-wing drones stand out due to their relatively low initial costs and impressive combat performance, particularly in Ukraine.
The C Astral drone, for instance, has been noted for its endurance and loitering capability, serving admirably in Ukraine's efforts. Similarly, the Hydron drone is lauded for its electronic warfare resistance, making it an invaluable asset on the front lines.
