4 December, 2023 FPV drones purchased by the Serhiy Prytula Foundation as part of the "Swarm of Revenge" project, December 2023 As part of the Revenge Swarm project, Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation ordered 200 heavy-lift Mammoth FPV drones. Serhiy Prytula informed about this on his social media.
The donators purchased 2,000 basic 7-inch FPV drones and financed a training course for 420 operators. In addition to them, the foundation contracted 200 Mammoth drones as well, of the Ukrainian company Escadrone, that belongs to a new generation of heavy-lift 10-inch drones.

The new drone is more expensive than more compact 7-inch analogues, costing about £700 per board, but offers better performance and a longer flight range. The Mammoth can carry up to 4 kg of payload, which is twice as much as current production models on the market. With this warhead, the drone can cover a distance of 12 kilometers.
However, with a smaller 1.5 kg warhead, the maximum distance increases to 30 km. The high performance of the drone is ensured by the larger size and power of the engines in its construction. The first mass-produced drones of this model were seen in use by the Ukrainian troops a few weeks ago on the left bank of the Kherson region, where they were attacking Russian troops near the village of Krynky.
A drone equipped with a heavy warhead flew into a house with the invaders and destroyed part of the building.
Revenge Swarm 2.0
The donators emphasize that attack drones remain an extremely important weapon on the front line. That's why they are launching a new iteration of the project, Revenge Swarm 2.0, immediately after the project will be completed.
As a part of the new project, it is planned to raise UAH 100 million to purchase 5,000 FPV drones and concomitant equipment.
