Russian media have reported on a new fixed-wing anti-aircraft drone designated “ROI-F1,” reportedly developed using the Chinese ZOHD Talon GT Rebel airframe as its basis. According to the reports, the interceptor can carry a warhead weighing approximately 0.8 kg (1.8 lbs) and is available in two variants. The standard...

Modifying a commercial airframe for terminal interception keeps unit costs low, but pushing a foam pusher-prop to 200 km/h leaves very little margin for structural flutter or off-axis wind gusts.

🚨🇺🇦🇷🇺 Ukraine is intercepting only about 60% of Russia’s new jet-powered Geran-4 and Geran-5 attack drones, compared with roughly 95% of the slower piston-powered Geran-2s, according to the Financial Times. The newer models are fast enough to blur the line between kamikaze drones and low-cost cruise missiles. Geran-4s can reportedly reach around 450–500 km/h with a 50 kg warhead and a range of roughly 600–700 km, while the larger Geran-5 can approach 550–600 km/h, carry around 90 kg and fly close to 1,000 km. The new drones also use electro-optical and thermal targeting, allowing them to identify specific targets during the terminal phase instead of relying only on pre-programmed coordinates. Unconfirmed reports suggest the latest versions may also process imagery onboard with AI-based algorithms, potentially helping them navigate and attack even under heavy GPS/GLONASS jamming. Geran-5 can reportedly be launched not only from ground systems but also from Su-25 aircraft. 🔥 The speed increase is the real headache for Ukraine. These drones are much harder for mobile air-defense teams and conventional interceptor drones to catch, forcing Kyiv to rely more heavily on fighter aircraft and other expensive defenses. Ukrainian companies are already developing specialized jet-powered interceptor drones in response. Russia’s production has apparently expanded so far that even Iran has asked Moscow for jet-powered Gerans for its own needs, a remarkable reversal from the early phase of the war when Russia was the side importing Shahed technology.

Unique footage has emerged showing remote control of interceptor drones. The 190th Training Center of the SBS reportedly used a drone-interceptor to shoot down a Shahed UAV remotely, with the pilot located at a significant distance from the launch site. The system used was LITAVR, developed by FDrones. According to the company, an operator can control the interceptor from hundreds of kilometers away from the launch point. The F7 LITAVR is already a well-known and highly effective system. As a reminder, here are the technical details (this is all open-source information): Development of the system began in autumn 2024. It was successfully tested and officially adopted in summer 2025. Serial production and deliveries to the military started in autumn 2025. Maximum speed: 350 km/h Flight time: up to 15 minutes Equipped with two cameras: daytime and thermal imaging The officially stated tactical range is 36 km, though in practice it can reach up to 60 km and operate at altitudes of up to 9.5 km. The warhead (separately codified) weighs 500 g. Detonation can occur via kinetic impact, self-destruction upon contact with the target, or manual activation by the operator. The system uses inertial guidance without GPS and features automatic terminal guidance (“last mile” / target lock system). At present, it reportedly destroys hundreds of targets per week, including Shaheds, Gerberas, Molniyas, Orlans, Lancets, and others. What is fundamentally new? Until now, mobile air defense fire groups and frontline crews using interceptor drones required a qualified pilot on-site. It has now been successfully demonstrated that a different tactic is possible: pilots can operate from protected, remote locations. The only requirement is internet access at both the control center and the launch site. Ukraine’s defense sector continues to develop innovative solutions. 📹 Oleksii Kopytko/Facebook
