Statement from Helsing

A Bloomberg article from January 19, claims Ukraine was “holding off on new Helsing drone orders”. The reality is different: there are concrete requests from more than six units within the Ukrainian army to order the HX-2. In fact, after the recent frontline testing, the unit that tested the system requested more than 1,000 drones additional for combat missions.

The HX-2 has been successfully tested in frontline operations in Ukraine and the performance of the system has been documented. Following these tests, HX-2 was approved for frontline use. It is also now listed in an official central ordering system of the Ukrainian army.

HX-2 has consistently scored hit rates very close to or of 100% during military tests in Germany, the UK, and Kenya. This is well documented in several news articles, including in the FT, and Handelsblatt.

We welcome scrutiny, and we are grateful for genuine feedback. But we can not tolerate misleading reporting on our company and on our many employees working to keep Europe safe.
