Česká republika 🇨🇿 ve spolupráci s experty z Ukrajiny 🇺🇦 znovu ukazuje, že patří mezi technologickou špičku.

Česká firma vyvinula unikátní protidronový systém, který dokáže ničit i celé roje íránských dronů Shahed používaných Ruskem při útocích na ukrajinská města.

Právě spojení českého know-how, inovací a zkušeností přímo z bojiště vytváří technologie, které zachraňují lidské životy a pomáhají chránit civilisty před terorem ruských útoků.

Jsem hrdý na to, že čeští inženýři, vývojáři a firmy dokazují, že i malá země může přinášet řešení světové úrovně.

Tohle není jen obranná technologie.
Tohle je ochrana svobody, bezpečnosti a lidských životů. 💙💛
