Ukrainian company "Vluchnyk" has completed internal tests of the "Zorelit v5" interceptor drone designed to counter high-speed aerial targets, including jet-powered strike UAVs, and announced it is ready for military supply. The drone has a maximum speed of 416 km/h, a flight range of up to 47 km, and can stay airborne for about 17 minutes at a cruising speed of 200 km/h. It can carry a warhead weighing 300 to 600 grams and is intended to intercept reconnaissance drones, Russian "Gerbera" and "Geran-2" UAVs, as well as jet-powered "Geran-3" and "Geran-4" targets. Optional equipment includes AI-based automatic target detection and illumination, automatic terminal guidance, and integration with the SkyMap system for optimal interception trajectory planning. The company plans to make the drone available for purchase through the eBaly system after codification.
