Ukrainian manufacturer “General Chereshnya” has introduced the AIR Pro—a high-speed interceptor drone engineered to neutralize enemy reconnaissance and strike UAVs.
The company announced that the product has already been codified and approved for operation within the Defense Forces of Ukraine. It is also available on the Brave1 platform and the DOT-Chain Defence marketplace.
The new release serves as a direct response to the rapid evolution of enemy UAVs and the critical need to maintain technological superiority on the battlefield.
Speed and Targets
The manufacturer notes that the AIR Pro demonstrates a speed of over 200 km/h, allowing it to effectively intercept a wide spectrum of targets, including:
-
Mavic / Autel
-
“Privet-82” / “Molniya”
-
ZALA, Supercam, “Orlan”
-
“Lancet”
-
“Geran” and its modifications
Regarding its combat performance, the company told Militarnyi:
“AIR Pro has been used by the military across the entire front line for some time and destroys all types of enemy drones — Orlan, ZALA, Lancet, Supercam, Mavic, etc. The drone has worked effectively against all specified aerial targets, as it was tested and improved over a long period in the best units”.
Specs and Capabilities
The interceptor, priced at 47,900 UAH, is capable of staying airborne for 35 minutes at an altitude of up to 6.8 km. It carries a payload of up to 800 grams and maintains visual contact with the target during daylight hours at distances up to 1.5 km.
Reliability is a key feature:
“The drone has a stable communication channel at maximum altitude and distance”, the company adds.
Production and Scaling
“General Chereshnya” also reported that they are working on increasing the share of Ukrainian components in their drones.
“It often depends on the specific order and situation, but we strive for these to be specifically Ukrainian parts”, the company noted.
Currently, the manufacturer produces thousands of drones per month but is prepared for rapid expansion.
“However, depending on the need and request, we are ready to scale their production to tens of thousands per month in a short time. We will monitor demand…”.
