Companies Develop Faster Interceptor Drones to Counter Russia's Jet-Powered Shaheds
As Russia deploys faster jet-powered Shahed attack drones reaching speeds up to 500 kph, Ukrainian companies and international manufacturers are developing quicker interceptor drones to counter them. SkyFall unveiled its P1-SUN Jetkiller, capable of 370 kph, which has reportedly downed over a dozen jet-powered Shaheds and plans mass production. Other firms like General Cherry and Firebolt Engineering are also advancing high-speed interceptors. These developments respond to the challenge posed by the increased speed and volume of drone attacks in Ukraine and other conflict zones.
