The "Svarog" Scientific and Production Center has begun combat testing of the new "Svarog Pro" anti-aircraft interceptor drone. The device is equipped with an AI-based homing system and is designed to engage aircraft-type drones. This was announced by an official representative of the "Svarog" SPC.

The drone is hand-launched and operates in conjunction with a ground control station. Its key characteristics include a strike range of up to 17 km, speeds over 300 km/h, and a maximum flight altitude of up to 4 km. The device uses analog communication and encrypted digital video – as noted by the developers, it is impossible to intercept the signal, which increases the effectiveness of mission execution.

In the future, it is planned to integrate "Svarog Pro" with radar stations and install it on vehicles. This will allow mobile groups to cover areas and industrial facilities, controlling the drone directly from the vehicle via an automated control center. The drone can be equipped with a warhead. The dimensions of the device are 540×410×410 mm.
