Bangladesh Army


University students make these. A mid tier engineer team with a small but dedicated R&D and production facility (1/4th of what BAF's UAV manufacturing plant in bogura) could very easily make them to army's operational specs. With a cost between $1000-2000 each. Basically as much as standard military issued rifle cost.

With commercially off the shelf open architecture guidance electronics, you could make them initially manually guided. But in time with a sophisticated software update these can be autonomously guided by AI. Ukrainians done exactly that.

With top speed of around 300kmh and a range of 15-20km, these are incredibly cost effective solutions to three types of threats.


1. Long range kamikaze UAVs like Shahed-136 and its derivatives.

2. As well as small tactical ISR UAVs like Bramore C4 eye or Ukrainian shark series and similar systems in service. These things are particularly devastating as they provide unprecedented situational awareness to the enemy and cue highly precise and high volume yet cheap artillery fires.

3. Loitering ammunitions like Switchblade or Lancet and similar systems.


Due to the cost effectiveness of listed systems above traditional interceptors becomes prohibitively expensive real fast. These UAV interceptors adequately addresses all these threat types while winning the battle of economics

Looks up Ukrainian Skyfall P-1 Sun and Octupos-100.
