The military involved in intelligence and adjusting artillery fire missions for all units of the National Guard of Ukraine received the reconnaissance system, as reported on the social media pages of the Come Back Alive Foundation. "The powerful "bird" rises to 2 km and "sees" to a depth of 50 km. It provides intelligence and adjusts fire at any time of the day due to high-quality day and night optics.

With these capabilities, it directs, for example, high-precision Excalibur projectiles," the statement said. They also shared an example of the operation of the Leleka-100 UAV, which was used to adjust artillery fire. The target was precisely destroyed with the Excalibur guided artillery shell.

The system consists of two aircraft with a ground control post. The military also received spare parts, tools, and other necessary consumables.

"Last spring, we purchased 25 such systems from the Ukrainian manufacturer DeViRo for UAH 36,000,000. Another company provided it to the army for free," the Come Back Alive Foundation added.
