F-Drones has released the LITAVR+ drone interceptor for “Shahed” drones, capable of speeds exceeding 400 km/h
The Ukrainian company F-Drones has unveiled an updated version of its LITAVR+ interceptor drone.
Ukrainian drone manufacturer F-Drones has introduced an upgraded version of its LITAVR+ interceptor drone, specifically designed to combat high-speed Shahed drones. The new LITAVR+ interceptor has demonstrated promising results in real combat scenarios. Company CEO Stanislav Khutor revealed these details in an interview with LB.ua.
Initially, the LITAVR interceptor drone was used by the Ukrainian military to destroy enemy UAVs. However, the emergence of jet-powered "Shaheds" necessitated improvements in speed and other tactical and technical aspects. The enhanced LITAVR+ model boasts a top speed of 400 km/h, with the potential to reach even higher velocities.
Despite its formidable capabilities, the UAV maintains numerous beneficial features such as proprietary software, a GPS-free navigation system, a last-mile target-tracking system, and remote control technology. These features enable mission completion without the need for pilot intervention and allow remote control from virtually anywhere globally.
The LITAVR+ has successfully passed factory tests and is undergoing combat testing, with video evidence confirming its effectiveness in neutralizing enemy jet drones. The upgraded interceptor is currently available for ordering by the Ukrainian military. Earlier, F-Drones exported 2,000 F10 strike FPV drones as part of the Drone Dominance project for the U.S. Department of Defense.
Additionally, F-Drones unveiled the F-CAPTAIN middle-strike unmanned aerial system, which will bolster the Ukrainian military's ability to strike Russian targets, including warehouses, air defense systems, command posts, and other high-value targets.
