The company aims to help Ukraine with intelligence but first must get approval from the U.S. government.
San Diego’s General Atomics Aeronautical Systems recently offered to provide two MQ-9 Reaper drones to Ukraine for $1 but first must get approval from the U.S. government.
“From the outset of the Russian invasion, we began looking for options to respond to the requests of Ukrainian forces with our products, including the MQ-9 Reaper and MQ-1C Gray Eagle,” said Blue. “Factoring in hardware and training that is essentially free, the offer is a remarkable deal with no strings attached. All that is required is approval from the U.S. government.”
The Reaper and sister General Atomics drones tailored to the U.S. Army have been used extensively in conflicts across the world for more than two decades. They can stay airborne for hours and are capable of carrying not only surveillance payloads but also weapons systems.
