Skazhenyi / UV Military Cluster
Overview
UV Military Cluster is a Ukrainian developer of interceptor drones. Its Skazhenyi (“Rabid”) takes off vertically and is built to destroy reconnaissance and strike drones close to the line of contact rather than jet-powered Shaheds. It was developed together with air-defense crews, and Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence codified it in September 2026. The codified version adds a terminal guidance system and, according to the developer, a higher top speed of 340 km/h, up from 310 km/h, and an operating altitude of up to 7,000 m. It has a 45 km range, a 25 km tactical radius and carries up to 0.5 kg. Day versions use a low-light camera and night versions a thermal camera; its manoeuvrability lets it make repeated passes at a target. On the Brave1 Market, versions without terminal guidance cost UAH 43,000–104,000. The company has said it can make up to 5,000 a month.
