  "account": "SkyFall, a technology and defense company, has introduced its new middle-strike attack drone, the Thor Hammer. This drone boasts a range of up to 600 km, depending on the modification, and is already in use at the frontlines. The Thor Hammer is capable of carrying a 40-50 kg warhead and can reach speeds of up to 180 km/h. Priced between $25,000 and $30,000, it offers a cost-effective solution in its segment. With a wingspan of 3.5 meters and a length of 3 meters, the drone can ascend to a maximum altitude of 4,000 meters. It takes just 18 minutes to deploy. The Thor Hammer can be launched via a catapult or rocket booster, offering high mobility and quick repositioning. It can be equipped with various warheads and secure communication systems. The drone features a multilayer navigation system, allowing it to operate even under electronic warfare conditions. Its autonomous flight system, guided by AI and computer vision, ensures it can complete its mission even if radio or video communications are lost. SkyFall developed all the electronics themselves and is also working on engines for middle-strike drones. The company plans to ramp up production to 5,000 drones per month by the end of the year and is also developing a model with a range exceeding 1,000 km.",
