Russian specialists found batteries from NASA’s Martian mission in the Ukrainian armed forces’ drones

Dmitry Kuzyakin, general director of the Centre for Complex Unmanned Solutions (CCU), said that Russian engineers have found batteries in captured Ukrainian FPV drones that are used by the US space agency NASA in the Martian programme.

“One of the enemy’s first FPV drones, which was provided to us, had the same battery as those used by the Americans in NASA’s Martian mission,” the CCBR general director told RIA Novosti.

According to the agency’s interlocutor, most likely, Ukraine assembled the first FPV drones with the help of its American “partners”. That is why these batteries were installed, as it was expected to use the drones in winter, at strong sub-zero temperatures.

The director general of the CCBR emphasised that batteries of this type, “to put it mildly”, are not used on an industrial scale due to their high cost. He said Russian engineers also found aluminium alloys in the captured FPV drones, which the United States uses in its space programme.

Dmitry Kuzyakin suggested that Washington supplied such FPV drones to Kiev at the initial stage of the Ukrainian conflict, with expensive stuffing, because the contractor had no alternative components.

“In it (such aluminium. – ed.) 70 percent is conventional alloys, and 30 percent is two pages of various homeopathic additives that give aluminium stability in a vacuum. That’s what an FPV drone needs such aluminium for?”, – Dmitry Kuzyakin stressed.

The head of the Centre for Complex Unmanned Solutions noted that Russian engineers often receive various drones from the special operation zone. Their stuffing is a large amount of useful information and various materials.

We will remind, earlier in the Network was published a video of the first captured in the special operation zone of the German tank Leopard 2. The military trophy showed a fighter of the 2nd battalion of the 71st Guards motorised rifle regiment of the 42nd Guards division with the call sign “Inquisitor”.
