The joint venture is a very successful project. We started working with the Polish side in 2020, "he said, speaking on the air of the pro-government TV channel Rustavi-2 (quoted by Kommersant).

The publication cites data from the Ministry of Defense of Georgia, according to which Warmate is a barraging unmanned aerial vehicle with high accuracy of destruction. Moreover, Warmate can be equipped with a warhead of various types. Including fragmentation and high-explosive. This drone is launched into the air from a special launcher.

It takes 7-8 minutes to prepare the Flyeye device for launch. Unlike the Warmate, it is launched into the air manually.
