Russian TikToker breaks down after her account is banned for promoting "Alabuga Polytech"—a facility using student labor to assemble drones for the war in Ukraine. She fears "dying in poverty" after TikTok's mass ban on recruiters targeting teens for drone production.

Wild Hornets has donated ONE THOUSAND STING interceptors to Ukrainian forces As part of the “One of a Thousand” initiative, we provided frontline crews with 1,000 STING interceptor drones equipped with the Hornet Vision digital communication system to strengthen Ukraine’s drone-based air defense. Every day and every night, Ukrainian crews go out to hunt Shaheds, Gerberas, and other aerial threats. Every night, they take responsibility for someone’s city, someone’s home, and someone’s life. That is why we made the decision to provide our most effective tool — the STING interceptor — free of charge. 1,000 STING interceptors and dozens of Hornet Vision ground stations represent over 100 million UAH invested by Wild Hornets into strengthening Ukraine’s defense. But for us, “One of a Thousand” is not just about the number of drones. It is about people. About the crews working through cold, darkness, and exhaustion. About the operators who, after destroying one target, immediately launch toward the next. About those whose work most people will never see — yet because of them, millions of Ukrainians wake up alive in the morning. We will continue sharing the stories of these crews. Because behind every downed Shahed are real people. And the country deserves to know their work. More to come.
