The Ukrainian company F-Drones unveiled an updated version of the intercept drone LITAVR+. The new unmanned aerial vehicle was designed specifically to intercept high-speed jet drones of the Shahed type. In an interview with LB.ua, F-Drones CEO Stanislav Khutor explained this.
The base LITAVR interception model has long been used by Ukrainian forces daily to destroy Russian drones. However, the appearance of jet Shahed drones among the Russian invaders created a need to increase speed and improve other tactical-technical characteristics of the drone.
According to Khutor, LITAVR+ is a strengthened version of the company’s main interceptor and can reach speeds of more than 400 km/h.
"As before, many useful “features” – own software, a GPS-free navigation system, a last-mile targeting system – when the mission can be completed without pilot intervention. And, of course, the remote control technology, when a pilot can operate the drone essentially from anywhere in the world," Khutor said.
F-Drones’ CEO said that LITAVR+ has already successfully passed factory tests and is now at the stage of combat testing. According to him, the company has confirmed video-verified results showing the destruction of jet drones of the aggressor country RF.
The updated interceptor is already available for order by Ukrainian military personnel, Khutor noted.
