Finnish Company Kelluu Develops Hydrogen-Powered Airships for Data Collection, Attracting NATO Interest

Kelluu, a Finland-based company co-founded by Jiri Jormakka, has developed unmanned airships that use hydrogen fuel cells for power and lifting. Measuring 12 meters long, these vehicles operate silently at low altitudes, collecting high-resolution data over large areas. Their capabilities have drawn attention from NATO, particularly for monitoring in Arctic regions near the Russian border, where they face electronic interference. The airships' unusual appearance has also sparked UFO sightings and conspiracy theories. Kelluu provides data collection services for both civilian and defense applications, with plans to scale production significantly.
