Video: Ukrainian LITAVR+ drone has begun shooting down Russian jet-powered kamikaze drones
F-Drones has developed and advanced the upgraded LITAVR+ interceptor drone—capable of shooting down Russian “Shahed” rockets—to the combat testing phase.
The new version retains the form factor of its predecessor but features new motors, electronics, a proprietary GPS-free navigation system, target-tracking capabilities, and remote control technology. The previous version of the LITAVR had a maximum speed of 350 km/h, a flight time of up to 15 minutes, a range of 40 km, and a 500-gram warhead. The upgraded interceptor reaches speeds of over 400 km/h and has already captured footage of a successful strike against an enemy target.
The company’s CEO, Stanislav Khutor, announced this in an interview with LB.ua.
