The Staff crew from the 158th Separate Mechanised Brigade destroyed a Russian Shahed using the Ukrainian LITAVR drone; it was carrying FPV drones on its wings. The intercept footage was published by the interceptor manufacturer, F-Drones.
“LITAVR combat work against a Shahed that was carrying additional drones on its wings. The target was destroyed by the Staff crew of the UAV interceptor battery of the anti-aircraft missile battalion of the 158th Separate Mechanised Brigade,” F-Drones wrote.
The company noted that Shaheds carrying FPVs create additional threats and complicate air defence operations.
“Such configurations complicate aerial threats: the carrier can deliver several means of attack at once and create additional tasks for air defence. The enemy is changing the ways it employs UAVs, and countermeasures are evolving alongside them. Thank you to the servicemen for their work. We keep going,” F-Drones said.
As reported earlier, F-Drones produces tens of thousands of drones a month for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and also became the first among Ukrainian manufacturers to supply drones to the US Army. In recent months, the company has unveiled the F-CAPTAIN middle-strike system, the upgraded LITAVR+ interceptor for jet-powered Shaheds, and a new compact five-inch FPV drone for assault units, the F5.
