Ukrainian interceptor drones shot down two of Russia’s newest and rarest reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), targets identified as “Prince Vechy Oleg.”
According to the shared information, the targets were destroyed by General Cherry AIR interceptor drones developed by the Ukrainian manufacturer General Cherry. Footage of the interception moments was published on the company’s official Facebook page and shows the moments when Russian UAVs were caught in the air and neutralized.

The successful intercepts were carried out by the “Thunder” crew of the 55th Separate Zaporizhia Sich Artillery Brigade.
Reportedly, the use of interceptor drones enabled the destruction of high-value enemy equipment without resorting to air defense missiles, which are considered expensive and limited resources.
“Prince Vechy Oleg” is presented as one of the most modern UAVs developed by the Russian military-industrial complex for deep air reconnaissance missions. It is stated that the system can detect targets at a distance of 40 to 45 kilometers from the contact line and can operate without being dependent on satellite navigation. Another prominent feature is the presence of a secure communication channel with high resistance to electronic warfare (EW) jamming.
Known features of the Russian UAV
- Wingspan: 2.8 m
- Length: 0.82m
- Weight: 11 kg
- He’s Hız: 130 km/sa
- Operational ceiling: up to 3,000 m
Experts emphasize that the destruction of a reconnaissance drone of this class confirms the increased effectiveness of Ukrainian interceptor drones.
These systems, which disrupt surveillance and target detection tasks by preventing the enemy from “seeing”, contribute to reducing the pressure on traditional air defenses and preserving more expensive ammunition for larger threats.
