Ukraine's first domestically built jet-powered interceptor drone, codified in August 2026 to close the speed gap that Russia's turbojet Geran-4 and Geran-5 opened over the cheap propeller interceptors that had been beating the Shahed.
Iron Wasp is a vehicle-mounted hard-kill counter-drone interceptor from Rafael and SpearUAV: a capsule-launched interceptor drone, derived from SpearUAV's Viper I, that lets armored vehicles physically destroy FPV drones and loitering munitions while on the move.
Fortem's DroneHunter F700 is a reusable, autonomous counter-UAS interceptor that captures hostile drones with nets instead of destroying them with explosives.
Ukraine's ~$1,000 answer to the Shahed: a partly-3D-printed interceptor drone that rams or proximity-detonates against incoming attack drones — the cheap, kinetic, deterrence-by-denial weapon now gaining an onboard AI eye that spots a Shahed faster than a human pilot.
The Dancer 4.5.0 matches the speed of Russia's newest Shahed variants and keeps re-engaging after a miss, the gap that has limited cheap drone-on-drone defense.
