Wild Hornets, which is behind the popular Sting interceptor drone, scaled back the speed in favor of loitering time.

The companies behind Ukraine's top popular interceptor drones are making their products faster to keep pace with Russia's new jet-powered Shaheds.

Sting interceptor drones made by Ukrainian defence company Wild Hornets shot down more than 3,000 Russian Shahed and Gerbera loitering munitions in May 2026.
