The Best Drone For Shooting Down "Shahed" Jet-Powered Drones Has Been Named

The Ukrainian military conducted tests.

The Ukrainian military conducted field tests of interceptor drones designed to counter the "Shahed" jet drones. Among the prototypes tested, the LITAVR+ from the Ukrainian company F-Drones demonstrated the best results.

This was reported by the 1020th Anti-Aircraft Missile and Artillery Regiment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The testing was conducted under conditions as close as possible to combat conditions. Measuring and monitoring equipment, in particular specialized radar equipment, was used to verify the results.

Based on the test results, the military named the LITAVR+ interceptor from F-Drones the best among the products presented.

According to the regiment, the drone demonstrated the necessary stable speed and range for intercepting jet-powered targets.

“Among all the models tested, the ‘LITAVR+’ interceptor from F-Drones emerged as the best. It demonstrated the necessary stable speed and range for intercepting jet-powered targets,” the military reported.

The military is working with manufacturers

The 1020th Anti-Aircraft Missile and Artillery Regiment emphasized that countering jet-powered targets requires new approaches, high-speed solutions, and coordination with Ukrainian developers.

“Effectively destroying jet-powered targets requires new approaches, high-speed solutions, and close coordination with domestic developers. That is precisely why we are constantly working with representatives of the Ukrainian defense-industrial complex,” the military noted.

The regiment also thanked F-Drones for continuing to refine the development and implementation of new technologies to defend Ukraine’s airspace.

What Is Known About F-Drones

F-Drones became the first Ukrainian company to independently manufacture all components for its UAVs and to export finished combat drones to the United States.

The company has already delivered 2,000 F10 strike FPV drones to the Pentagon as part of the Drone Dominance project. The article also notes that U.S. NDAA requirements stipulate that the drone’s design must not contain any Chinese parts.
