Wild Hornets announced on April 17 that a Ukrainian pilot operated a Sting interceptor drone at a range of 2,000 kilometers using the Hornet Vision Ctrl system.

Ukrainian forces successfully operated a Sting drone at 2,000 km range.

Wild Hornets demonstrated a record-breaking launch of an interceptor drone over 2,000 kilometers with the operator based in northern Ukraine.

Ukrainian forces reportedly successfully operated a Sting interceptor drone at a range of 2,000 kilometers amid continued technical innovations to combat Russia's long-range drone campaign.

A pilot operating a Sting interceptor drone from abroad achieved a record distance of 2,000 km while controlling the drone operating in northern Ukraine using the Hornet Vision Ctrl system.

The Hornet Vision Ctrl system underwent battlefield testing on the front line for several months and began serial deployment at the end of March 2026.

The system will allow crews to control sections of the front up to 100 km instead of the previous 20 km.
