Ukrainian defense company Athlon Avia has been producing drones for Ukraine's armed forces for over a decade.
The company was founded in 2014 as a reaction to Russia's annexation of Crimea and the outbreak of the Donbas war.
Athlon Avia's main products, the A1-CM Furia drone and the ST-35 Silent Thunder loitering munition, are used for aerial reconnaissance and precision strikes.
The biggest challenge for Athlon Avia is supporting artillery units, as they require longer and farther flights, demanding significant changes in the system.
