00:00 The Pentagon has confirmed that it will be sending Black Hornet nano-drones to Ukraine
00:18 as part of a $400 million security assistance package.
00:22 This confirmation comes against the backdrop of reports of Ukrainian counter-offensive
00:27 being futile and tardy.
00:29 The US Department of Defense had announced USD 400 million in additional security assistance
00:34 for Ukraine yesterday, including air defense missiles, armored vehicles, and small drones
00:40 as Ukraine's counter-offensive against Russia grinds on.
00:44 The new aid package will include US-furnished Black Hornet surveillance drones for the first
00:49 time.
00:50 The assistance is funded using the Presidential Drawdown Authority, which authorizes the President
00:55 to quickly transfer articles and services from US stocks without any congressional approval
01:00 during an emergency.
01:04 This is the 43rd security assistance package approved by the United States for Ukraine.
01:08 More than $43 billion in US military aid has been provided to Ukraine since Russia's invasion
01:13 in 2022.
01:15 The Black Hornet nano-drone is a revolutionary piece of technology that has taken the world
01:20 of drones by storm.
01:22 With its small size and impressive capabilities, this drone is changing the game for aerial
01:27 surveillance and recon.
01:29 One of the standout features of the Black Hornet nano-drone is its compact size.
01:33 These drones are tiny and lightweight, measuring just a few inches in length and weighing less
01:38 than even a pound.
01:40 This makes it perfect for situations where maneuverability and stealth are crucial.
01:45 Black Hornet nano-drones can easily fit into tight spaces and capture high-quality footage.
01:50 Their small size makes them easy to carry and transport, allowing for quick deployment
01:55 in various scenarios.
01:57 These drones are equipped with high-resolution cameras and can capture clear images and videos,
02:02 making them ideal for surveillance and recon missions.
02:06 Their high-resolution cameras can capture detailed footage even in low-light conditions.
02:10 Furthermore, the ability to transmit live video feeds to a remote operator allows for
02:15 real-time monitoring and decision-making.
02:18 These drones operate silently, virtually undetectable during surveillance and recon missions.
02:24 Despite their small size, the Black Hornet nano-drones boast of an impressive flight
02:29 time, allowing extended missions without frequent recharging.
02:32 The drones' battery life ensures that they can stay in the air for a considerable period,
02:37 providing ample time to complete missions without any interruption.
02:41 This is particularly beneficial in time-sensitive situations where every single minute counts.
