History
In service with the Polish Army since 2010, FlyEye has been supplied in large numbers to Ukraine since 2022 and has become one of the most widely used Western drones on the front for reconnaissance and fire correction.
WB Group's FlyEye is one of the most successful mini reconnaissance drones from Europe's industry: in service with the Polish Army since 2010, it has been exported to the Czech, Algerian and Ukrainian forces and is routinely paired with the manufacturer's own Warmate loitering munition to close the find-fix-finish loop.
Since 2022 the FlyEye has been one of the most widely employed Western drones in the Ukrainian Army and has received a major EW-protection upgrade to resist Russian jammers such as Pole-21 and Shipovnik-Aero.
