Check out Bandit a low cost FPV interceptor drone purpose built for mass production. Neros (the same team that supplied thousands of Archer attack drones to Ukraine) developed it specifically from the hard lessons of the Ukraine War, where cheap drones completely changed the battlefield. This is their answer. An affordable, scalable counter drone system designed to hunt other drones at volume. Nero’s recently won a US Army IDIQ contract with a $500M ceiling under the Purpose Built Attritable Systems (PBAS) program. Orders already include thousands of units for Army special operations and conventional forces.

Today, we announce our Series C Funding of $250M at $2.5B post money valuation to scale our Autonomous and Interceptor drone programs. This round of funding is co-led by Sequoia Capital and American Strategic Technology Fund (ASTF) with participation by Interlagos, Valor Equity Partners, Allen & Company, Thiel Capital, Spark Capital, and Dylan Field. These funds will accelerate the development and production ramps for new drone programs including Archer AI, an FPV platform augmented with autonomy features including Terminal Guidance and GPS-denied Position Hold, and Bandit, a c-UAS interceptor drone intended to counter Class 2 and 3 drone threats including Shahed-style systems. These platforms are being developed with the hardware and compute required for multi-asset control (often called “swarming”) while retaining the cost efficiency Neros is known for – and that’s essential to achieving true attritable mass. Both Archer AI and Bandit will be deployed for combat by the end of 2026.

The newest version of Neros' Bandit interceptor drone can fly 300 kilometers per hour: "300 is a pretty good spot for taking out typical Shahed drones." "To go after jet-powered Shahed drones, we need to be closer to 400 km/h, so that would be the ideal end state." — Neros Technologies CEO Soren Monroe-Anderson (Soren Monroe-Anderson)

U.S. company Mara has presented its Spike counter-drone system, designed to defend against FPV drones. The system consists of two main components: the Spotter detection module, which uses visual and acoustic sensors to identify incoming drones, and the Seeker interceptor UAV. The Seeker reportedly has a maximum speed of up to 200 km/h (124 mph) and an operational range of approximately 1.5 km (0.9 miles). Mara estimates the complete Spike system will cost between $30,000 and $100,000, depending on the number of Seeker interceptors included. A single system can reportedly accommodate up to 48 interceptors. The company says the interceptor itself is intended to cost approximately the same as its target, or up to twice as much. A stationary version of Spike is planned for late 2026, while vehicle-mounted and portable versions using manual launch are expected in 2027. The system reportedly underwent testing in Ukraine in July 2026. #USA #Mara #Spike #CounterUAS #CounterDrone #FPV #Drones #DroneWarfare #Interceptor #MilitaryTechnology #Defense

Cheap attack drones pose an expensive problem. Some cost as little as $20,000, but shooting them down with interceptor missiles can cost millions. A possible solution: lasers that can zap drones out of the sky for just a few dollars per shot.

Iran may attack U.S. forces with $400 cost interceptor drones — like rus-sian «Molniya». Its significantly cheaper than the Shahed drone and has a range of up to 60 km, when the width of the Strait of Hormuz is 40–50 km. While the missiles for Patriot systems — likely to be often used by the U.S. to intercept these threats — cost about $4M. How do you like that cost ratio?😉 In this video, we’ll discuss how 7 Corps experience can help in countering Iran. And about the capability to mass-produce low-cost interceptor drones (with Генерал Черешня 🍒). Watch the video, like and share this post!👍

As Russia launches waves of drone attacks, one of Ukraine's best defenses is an inexpensive, domestically produced weapon: the Sting interceptor drone. These 3D-printed quadcopters are designed to take out Shahed drones and cost less than one-tenth as much as their targets.

Ukraine will begin mass deployment of interceptor drones within several months, Head of the Presidential office Kyrylo Budanov says. Prototypes are already undergoing combat testing and shooting down Russian drones. He also said a large prisoner exchange between Ukraine and Russia could take place as early as next week. #Ukraine

Russian report: Gulf air defenses face a “million-dollar missile vs. a drone costing a few thousand dollars” dilemma The Russian Center for Analysis of World Arms Trade published a study and analysis concluding that Gulf states’ reliance on long-range U.S. air defense systems against low-cost threats such as attack drones creates a significant gap between the cost of the attack and the cost of interception. The center noted that an Iranian Shahed-136 drone is estimated to cost around $20,000–$50,000 , while a PAC-3 interceptor missile can cost approximately $4 million , making the interception of large-scale drone attacks extremely expensive. The report argues that systems such as Patriot and THAAD were largely designed to counter long-range threats and ballistic missiles, while Gulf states need diversified defensive layers, including short- and medium-range systems to counter drones, cruise missiles, and low-altitude targets. The center proposed strengthening air defenses with Russian systems such as Buk-M3 “Viking” for medium-range defense, Tor for short-range defense, and Pantsir-S1M to protect critical infrastructure from close-range threats. According to the report, combining long-, medium-, and short-range systems could increase the number of engagement channels and reduce the depletion of costly interceptor missiles, particularly around oil refineries, desalination plants, ports, and energy facilities. The Russian center concludes that addressing the cost gap between offensive weapons and interceptors could make large-scale drone attacks less economically viable by building a layered defense system capable of countering threats at a more balanced cost.

🇺🇸 BREAKING: US Lockheed Martin Unveils MORFIUS — The Drone Killer Built to Take Down Swarms Lockheed Martin says its MORFIUS™ high power microwave system can neutralize more than 50 enemy drones in a single flight. Instead of firing an interceptor at every target, MORFIUS uses directed microwave energy to defeat multiple unmanned aircraft, offering a potentially low cost per kill solution against mass drone attacks. As drone swarms become larger and more autonomous, systems like MORFIUS are emerging as a key part of the next generation of counter UAS warfare.
