As noted by the company, one of the AtlasPro during the operation was hit by a Russian sniper bullet. But the drone still survived and back home safely.

The company says AltasPRO is a lightweight tri-copter unmanned system. Its compact design makes it man-packable and is intended for use in nearly all weather conditions.

Its communications are hardened, and encrypted, and allow for nearly 10-mile BVLOS missions. With 32 minutes of battery endurance and a three-minute setup, the AtlasPRO is an airframe suitable for most missions.

This time we purchased 100 Atlas [AtlasPro] complexes from the Latvian company of the same name. A hundred complexes consist of 300 drones, as well as tablets and transponder for them,” the foundation said in the press release.
