SkyFall P1-Sun

Ukraine's cheap kinetic answer to mass Shahed raids — a roughly $1,000, partly-3D-printed interceptor drone that destroys incoming attack and reconnaissance drones by ramming or proximity detonation, now gaining an onboard AI seeker that locks a target faster than a human operator can.

Overview

The P1-Sun is a Ukrainian interceptor drone built by SkyFall, one of the country's largest drone manufacturers (also maker of the Vampire/"Baba Yaga" heavy bomber and the Shrike FPV line). It is a single-use, low-cost airframe designed to kill Russian Shahed/Geran one-way attack drones, Gerbera carriers and reconnaissance UAVs by kinetic collision or a proximity-fused warhead — the cheap, kinetic embodiment of "deterrence by denial," trading a ~$1,000 interceptor against a $20,000–40,000 Shahed. In June 2026 SkyFall unveiled the P1-Sun Long, which adds an onboard AI terminal-guidance module that detects and locks a target autonomously, "faster than the human eye." Two caveats up front: SkyFall's kill totals are company-reported and not independently verified, and the headline Airbus partnership is, so far, an agreement to integrate — not a fielded capability.
