The contents of Ukraine’s military project “Black Box” have been a secret.

Now the black box has been opened.

The superweapon has already been costly for Putin after several attacks.

In a dramatic video, they reveal the secret that has been hinted at and threatened with since last summer.

The top-secret “Black Box” project was mentioned by Ukraine’s military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov this summer.

Without saying what it was about, he said that in one month the project enabled attacks against Russia that cost the country more than seven billion kroner in military costs.

“Successful missions”

Now that bill is said to be more than ten billion kroner.

The project is a collaboration between the Ukrainian intelligence service and the war fund Come Back Alive, which since the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014 has collected money for the military.

Now it is stated that part of the “Black Box” is about long-range drones of the Beaver type. The craft has a range of 80 miles and is said to have been used in a series of attacks against Russian targets on occupied land and inside Russia.

The project will also include more, still secret, components.

“Beaver has successfully completed missions in Crimea, in the occupied parts of Ukraine and, of course, flown into military targets in enemy territory,” states Come Back Alive on X.

Knocked out Putin’s robot

According to Ukraine, among other things, an ammunition warehouse where Russia stored components for the dreaded Iskander ballistic robot has been raided.

There has been speculation among military experts since last summer that Ukraine had access to Beaver drones.

Among other things, it has been suspected that the drones were used in an attack on Moscow in July, writes Newsweek.

According to Come Back Alive, money has also been collected for vehicles for Ukrainian special forces.

Get closer to the border

They will help them get closer to occupied territories and the Russian mainland to increase the range of future attacks with the drones.

“The vehicles will increase the mobility of the special forces and mean that they can ‘take’ the invaders in Crimea, in the temporarily occupied areas and on the other side of the border”, states Come Back Alive.
