Luxembourg delivered six Czech-made Primoco One 150 UAVs to Ukraine as military aid, and Germany's archived federal aid list recorded 18 delivered Primoco ONE reconnaissance drones; available direct sources describe the Ukraine-war role as surveillance, reconnaissance, and foreign military aid rather than armed strike employment.

Primoco One 150 is a Czech medium-sized fixed-wing UAV built for long-endurance ISR, border-security, infrastructure-monitoring, electronic-support, and communications missions. Primoco describes the aircraft as a fully autonomous runway-launched system with 15-hour endurance, 120 km/h cruise speed, up to 30 kg payload capacity, and military/civil certification; Ukraine received One 150 or Primoco ONE reconnaissance drones through Luxembourg and Germany during the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War.

Mission Fit
Primoco markets the One 150 as a reusable runway-launched UAV for reconnaissance, surveillance, artillery-fire guidance, border and coastal patrol, radio-frequency sensing, communications support, and infrastructure monitoring. Its public Ukraine-war sourcing supports a reconnaissance and foreign-aid role; available manufacturer and donor material does not describe the delivered aircraft as carrying weapons.
The aircraft uses automatic takeoff and landing from a prepared runway or suitable straight paved strip rather than VTOL launch.

Public payload examples emphasize EO/IR cameras, radar, LiDAR, radio-frequency sensors, electronic-support payloads, and communications equipment for information collection and relay.
