Ukraine has developed a fixed-wing UAV interceptor

The Ukrainian company Besomar has developed an interceptor drone to shoot down Russian drones.

Roman Shemechko, a representative of the company, told Militarnyi that the interceptor drone was manufactured at low cost and was already being used in the combat zone.

A “kamikaze interceptor” intercepts Russian drones as they approach.

However, this drone is also capable of conducting reconnaissance missions. It can fly for two and a half hours.

“It’s like a big FPV, like a plane that can stay in the air longer and carry more weight,” Roman Shemechko said.

The design allows for the installation of two batteries. The drone flies at a range of 50-60 kilometers.

It can climb to a height of 4 kilometers and fly at a speed of 160-170 km.

The latest versions of the interceptor drone have also been equipped with an air brake, which allows the drone to avoid the enemy’s drone and neutralize it in a timely manner.

According to Besomar, it is currently capable of producing up to 100 such drones per month.

As previously reported, Ukraine is already using modified FPV drones against Russian reconnaissance and attack drones.

Currently, there are several publicly known projects in Ukraine to supply such modified drones to the Defense Forces.

Previously, an FPV drone operator of the 11th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine managed to shoot down a Russian Lancet kamikaze drone.
