Ukrainian drone manufacturer General Chereshnya is preparing a new version of the BULLET interceptor to combat Russian jet drones. It should reach speeds of about 450 km/h. The company plans to present the finished product this fall.
Andriy Oliynyk, a representative of "General Chereshnya" , told Defense News about this.
According to Oliynyk, the team is changing the design of the case and using materials that can withstand heat better. The new version is also equipped with a kinetic accelerator. The previous version of BULLET, according to the manufacturer's specifications, can accelerate to 310 km/h, stay in the air for up to 25 minutes and operate at an altitude of up to 6 km.
Back in June, General Chereshnya and STRIX announced cooperation on interceptors for reactive "shaheeds". At that time, General Chereshnya co-founder Stanislav Hryshyn reported that the BULLET integrated the STRIX chemical accelerator directly into the drone body. To do this, the developers had to redesign the lower part of the frame and strengthen it for additional loads.
Previously, dev.ua wrote that digital copies of BULLET and P1-SUN were added to the Ukrainian Fight Drone Simulator military simulator, where operators can practice intercepting aerial targets without losing real drones.
