Compilation of Ukrainian defenders' work with Queen Hornets FPV heavy drones since they were first fielded in July 2024.

Ukraine fights on behalf of the whole world against ruzzia's evil.

Eternal thanks to Mr. Thumann and his team for standing with Ukraine and powerful support for Ukraine's defense, despite the personal cost.

Nemesis is the unit whose drone teams rapidly wiped out a US armoured brigade in an exercise in Germany last spring.

"Ukrainian drones were doing this [attacking] so quickly with US vehicles that they had to be sent back into the exercises as new units, or 're-spawned,' to keep the exercise going," a US official said.

Thank you to Nemesis and all who supported this fundraiser.

Thanks be to Mr. Serhiy Sternenko and his great fellowship of the STING.

Eternal thanks to everyone who supported this and our raffle partner @ anno1540 on xshitter.

The 11th National Guard Brigade's Samosud (Vigilante) unit had a 95% hit rate with STING interceptors.

The Hornet Vision CTRL drone control system lets teams fly drones hundreds of kilometres from the launch point.

This increases soldier safety and vastly expands the zone of operations.

This is the first drone remote-control system certified to NATO standards and purchased by Ukraine's defence ministry.

The Shaheds were downed last night at very low altitudes under 90 metres—very challenging due to signal interference from terrain.

It was possible only thanks to masterful operators and our Hornet Vision drone control system.

The Gerbera was downed a few days ago.

Thanks to the 105th Border Guards in Chernihiv and everyone who supported the "Axe a Shahed" fundraising raffle, including raffle partners Fellaraktar and Capblyatbeard (on xshitter).

$500 = strike video with your own fire-breathing STING.

Drone units are a prime enemy target. This is a key reason we're helping Bulava use remotely controlled STINGs in our Wild Hornets raffle with NAFO: https://bsky.app/profile/armedmaidan.bsky.social/post/3mpllqrwkac2a

In an earlier incident, in 2024, Hulk had just finished destroying $12 million of enemy equipment with Wild Hornets drones when the invaders found his position.

They attacked with a massive rocket and drone barrage.

Fellow Bulava pilot "Skif" risked his life to help evacuate Hulk.

After the more recent attack in 2025, Hulk couldn't walk for a month and spent four months recovering before returning to his unit.

Many people questioned whether he should go back. He had the option of not going to take care of family members.

"Haven't you given enough?" they asked.

"In my opinion, no—I haven't given everything," he says.

"Others in my unit have children and family too. They aren't leaving. Why should I?

"My biggest motivation is our future and our children. And I'm not just thinking about my own child."

We wish we had an axe for each and every one you. But we only have one to give.

It is with great pride that we announce the winner is u/MimiPrague (on xitter). Congratulations Mimi!
