The Ministry of Defense codified and approved for operation the Ukrainian-made JEDI Shahed Hunter unmanned aerial vehicle complex.
Main theses:
- JEDI Shahed Hunter – new generation drone interceptors for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
- Drones successfully destroy Russian strike and reconnaissance drones.
JEDI Shahed Hunter interceptor drones approved for use by the Armed Forces of Ukraine
The high-speed interceptor drones included in this complex successfully destroy Russian attack drones such as Shahed, Geran, and Gerbera. They can also intercept Zala and Supercam reconnaissance drones.
JEDI Shahed Hunter is a copter-type aerial drone with vertical take-off. Equipped with a lightweight and durable frame, four high-performance electric motors and a capacitive battery.
With a total weight of just over 4 kg, the drone carries up to 500 grams of payload. This is enough to destroy a strike drone. And the power of its engines is enough to accelerate the drone to over 350 km/h and rise to an altitude of up to 6 km.
JEDI Shahed Hunter receives data from radar stations automatically. This allows interceptor drones to enter the target area more quickly and destroy it quickly.

The ground control station ensures the coordination of the flight of this copter, stable communication and accuracy of use. JEDI Shahed Hunter can automatically acquire and aim at the target. In addition, it is equipped with day and thermal imaging cameras, which allows it to perform tasks day and night.
Due to its characteristics, this complex can cover the sky from enemy drones within a radius of up to 40 km.
As a reminder, protecting the skies is a top priority of Ukraine's War Plan. The goal is to identify 100% of air threats in real time and intercept at least 95% of missiles and drones.
