History
The Wild Hornets collective was born in 2023 through private donations (Sergiy Prytula Foundation) and ramped FPV drone production to thousands of units per month by 2024.
The 10-inch Wild Hornets FPV drones were born in 2023 thanks to fundraising by the Sergiy Prytula Foundation and have become one of the pillars of Ukraine's 'FPV war', with monthly production exceeding 3,000 units in 2024.
The collective is one of the most representative of Ukraine's volunteer-warfare model: civilian engineers building precision weapons at a stated unit cost below US$500.
