On social network X, representatives of "Wild Hornets" addressed the TV channel’s editorial team with a request to clarify the information. According to the developers, footage of the STING interceptor drone, a UAV created by Ukrainian engineers and used on the battlefield in Ukraine, was shown in a report about the "high-tech arsenal of the United States."
"We appreciate that international media such as Fox News highlight the effective work of interceptor drones. However, the video shown features STING, a Ukrainian drone developed by engineers from Wild Hornets," the team said in a statement.
A fragment of this broadcast also spread on social media. It was published by Fox News host Jesse Watters, who commented on a report about the use of artificial intelligence on the battlefield in the war with Iran. The video shows an interview with drone expert Brett Velicovich, while on the right side of the frame, the flight of STING drones in the sky over Ukraine is shown.
Fox News has not publicly responded to the remarks by the Ukrainian developers so far.
