Ukraine has developed a new interceptor drone designed to combat Russian attack drones of the Shahed and Gerber types. The drone's developers told Militarnyi about this.
The project was implemented in response to regular attacks on Ukraine carried out by Russia using the above-mentioned drones.
According to the developers, the new drone is capable of operating effectively at night and developing high speed, which allows it to quickly detect and destroy enemy strike drones before they approach infrastructure or populated areas.
The design takes into account the specifics of the tactics of using Shaheds, which increases the effectiveness of their interception in difficult conditions, in particular in the dark.
Work is currently underway to implement a final guidance system, which will automate the interception process and reduce the need for operator participation.
Earlier, the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation (CDC) of the National Security and Defense Council Andriy Kovalenko reported that interceptors for Shahed jets are being developed in Ukraine, but details about them will be available "at the right time."
