Ukrainian Drone Maker TFL Secures Funding from EU, US, and Canadian Investors
Ukrainian defense technology company The Fourth Law (TFL) has attracted investment from venture funds and private investors across the EU, the United States, and Canada, the company’s press service announced.
TFL develops TFL-1 guidance modules – compact, scalable components engineered for mass production at a rate of hundreds of thousands per month. Their affordability makes it possible to equip every FPV drone with precision targeting capabilities.
The module enables the drone to autonomously lock onto its target during the final 500 meters of flight, using artificial intelligence algorithms for navigation.
It is noted that the system can identify the type of stationary or moving target and fly precisely to its center, regardless of various obstacles.
In addition to its modules, The Fourth Law also supplies the Defense Forces with Lupinis-10-TFL-1 systems (both day and night versions) — available as individual UAVs or as full unmanned aerial systems (UAS), which include a hundred 10-inch FPV drones equipped with TFL-1 modules, a ground control station, and supporting equipment.
“These drones are capable of striking targets at distances of up to 30 kilometers while carrying a 1 kg payload, and up to 3.5 kg at shorter ranges. Beyond the Lupinis platform, the TFL-1 module has also been integrated into drones from over a dozen major FPV manufacturers,” the company stated.
Yaroslav Azhniuk, the company’s founder and CEO, stated:
“Mass-scalable drone autonomy is arguably the most important defense technology of this decade. No one in the world understands this better than Ukraine’s Defense Forces. We are doing the most important work of our lives, and the funding from investors is a critical catalyst for strengthening the defense capabilities of the Free World.”
Colonel Ruslan Shevchuk, commander of the 58th Independent Motorized Infantry Brigade, shared that since March 2025, the brigade’s drone pilots have been using drones equipped with the TFL-1 system, which has proven effective in combat.
“It helps overcome electronic warfare interference and acquire and strike targets in difficult conditions. Its advantages are most evident during special missions. Based on our operational experience, this is a system that truly works,” Shevchuk shared.
TFL states that its products have undergone codification procedures and are being used by dozens of units within the Ukrainian Defence Forces. The company has offices in the United States, the European Union, and Ukraine.
