In May 2022, Parrot announced the donation of approximately 300 ANAFI UKR kits to the Ukrainian Armed Forces via the French government following Russia's full-scale invasion. The ANAFI UKR is a hardened variant of the ANAFI USA optimized for military ISR: it features thermal + EO sensors, encrypted video transmission, and no Chinese components, meeting NDAA Section 848 requirements.

Deployed by Ukrainian territorial defense and front-line units for surveillance, target acquisition, and battle-damage assessment. Parrot CEO Henri Seydoux publicly confirmed the donation. Additional ANAFI UKR procurements followed from multiple NATO member governments.
