Petro Poroshenko handed over the Ai-Petri party to the capital’s defenders.

Petro Poroshenko handed over a batch of Ai-Petri counter-technical reconnaissance systems to the unit involved in defending the Ukrainian capital.

“Today, we are driving all evil spirits out of our home and country. This is what our heroic Armed Forces are doing right now. Some of the Ai-Petri systems you see in the photo will cover the skies over Kyiv and help defend against enemy attacks,” Poroshenko wrote on social media.

“Today, we are handing over five of these PGTR systems to the 12th Separate Center, with which we have been working since its inception. These are the best operators who will use Ai-Petri to land reconnaissance drones, Shahids, and enemy attack drones. As always, the systems are also being equipped with pickup trucks, generators, charging stations, and electronic warfare systems,” the fifth President wrote.

“We’re also handing over the system to the National Police’s “Lyut” assault brigade. It’s already equipped with the ability to land FPV drones. They’ll soon be deploying our system to the front lines, and this capability will save the lives of our soldiers,” Poroshenko noted.

“In total, we are transferring six Ai-Petri systems, and there will be more,” Poroshenko announced.

Since the fall of 2023, Petro Poroshenko has invested over 200 million hryvnias in the production of unique Ai-Petri SV countermeasure systems, which have successfully passed trials and are used by the Armed Forces, covering a thousand kilometers of combat contact. For a long time, the state had not allocated funding for this program. A year ago, Poroshenko announced a contract with the Ministry of Defense .

Russian reconnaissance and attack drones—the Lancets, Zalys, Orlans, and others—threaten not only our troops but also critical infrastructure and civilian facilities. “Ai-Petri” is a cybersecurity system with unique properties, developed by our team of specialists—programmers and engineers. “Nothing like it exists today, neither in the Ukrainian Armed Forces nor among the enemy. And we have established serial production,” Poroshenko previously reported . Since the project’s inception, the troops have already received approximately three hundred systems.
