Wild Hornets’ Sting S hits jet-powered Gerans as company plans mass production
Ukrainian defense technology company Wild Hornets told NV about its new high-speed Sting S interceptor, its performance in combat testing and plans to scale up production.
Ukrainian defense company Wild Hornets unveiled its new high-speed Sting S interceptor drone, detailing its combat performance and plans for mass production. In June, Russia transitioned from gasoline-powered Shahed drones to jet-powered models. Ukraine faced an explosion in the number of jet-powered drones, with 350 launched in June and 3,500 by September.
To combat this threat, Ukraine is testing five high-speed interceptors developed by domestic companies, including Wild Hornets. The company's Sting interceptor has proved effective against Shahed-type drones, destroying over 17,000 enemy pieces worth nearly $3 billion. Wild Hornets is currently testing its new high-speed Sting S interceptor and expects to begin mass production within a month of completing tests, when success rates against jet-powered drones should match those against Shaheds.
