About 70 employees worked at the facility, and the value of the assets in the workshop reached tens of millions of euros. Officials confiscated a flammable mixture, tools, mobile phones, a video camera, and a plan.
It was determined that the seized liquid was a petroleum-based flammable mixture – napalm. The pre-trial investigation is ongoing.
News portal „Dennikn“ reported that the target was the Ukrainian company „Skyeton“ drone factory in Prešov. Its office in Kyiv had already been destroyed during a Russian attack in May 2026.
„Skyeton“ opened a „Raybird“ drone production line in Slovakia through its subsidiary „Tropozond“. These aircraft transmit target coordinates in real-time and are integrated with HIMARS, „Caesar“, and „Krab“ artillery systems.
The company prepared for possible attacks in advance and distributed production capacities across different regions of Ukraine and abroad. In 2025, „Skyeton“ and the UK defense industry company „Prevail Partners“ announced the establishment of a joint venture „Skyeton Prevail Solutions“. 160 people were planned to be employed in the United Kingdom. The company also cooperates with the Danish company „Quadsat“.
