Litavr Sets World-First: Remote Shahed Interceptions From Safe Locations Across Ukraine

Ukraine’s 190th Training Center’s Litavr drone-interceptor, built with F-Drones, has achieved remote interception of Shahed drones, allowing pilots to operate interceptors from safe locations via internet-linked control. The system enables country-wide defense with a 350 km/h speed, up to 15 minutes of flight, an official 36 km radius (practically 60 km), and a 500 g warhead, and it already destroys hundreds of drones weekly, expanding Ukraine’s defensive options.

UK officials were preparing a statement, while White House and UK authorities did not immediately comment.
