Different units in the Ukrainian military are using the drones, but the number of how many and the locations where the Punisher drones are being deployed is classified, Bulatsev said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told the outlet that the drone is relatively small and light and is undetectable to radars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
