The Defense Forces of Ukraine use EOS C VTOL drones for reconnaissance of locations of military equipment and personnel of the Russian occupying forces. UAVs were named Magyla-1 and Magyla-2 in honor of the goddess of death in ancient Lithuanian mythology.
Lithuanian TV presenter and activist Andryus Tapinas published a video of drones. He collected money for UAVs in his country.
EOS C-VTOL drones bought by Lithuanians and named Magylas - at work.

Andrews Tapinas told, that these drones helped the Ukrainian military find enemy equipment near the settlements of Vrubivka and Loskutivka in the Luhansk region. Several tanks, armored personnel carriers and other vehicles can be recognized in the video.
After confirming the coordinates, they were hit by Ukrainian artillery.
"The results are Russian tanks destroyed. Magylas landed safely. Glory to Ukraine. The best investment that could have been," said the journalist.
Lithuanians raised funds and purchased two EOS C VTOL unmanned aerial vehicles in June 2022. Then four more similar drones were added to these two drones. The cost of one UAV is estimated at 165,000 euros.
EOS C VTOL is an electric vertical take-off and landing UAV developed by the Estonian company Threod Systems. These drones operate extremely quietly and are able to detect enemy equipment at a distance of 15 kilometers.
