General Cherry Demonstrates Shahed Downed by New Bullet Interceptor Drone

The Ukrainian defense-tech company General Cherry has demonstrated the downing of a Russian Shahed kamikaze drone using its interceptor.

The video was published by the company’s strategic communications director Rudolf Akopyan.

The strike was carried out by the Bullet interceptor drone, which was launched into mass production in late October.

The project was implemented in cooperation with the military, which provided technical requirements and combat experience.

The Bullet is capable of accelerating to 309 km/h, which ensures high maneuverability and speed. It is produced in day and night versions, as well as with a homing system.

The footage shows the downing of two Russian Shaheds using a nighttime modification of the interceptor.

In a commentary to Militarnyi, representatives of General Cherry said that Bullet had just been put on combat duty, and this footage was the first to be received from the unit.

So far, the company has delivered the largest free batch of these drones to more than 20 units of the Defense Forces.

In total, the General Cherry interceptor systems have already shot down several thousand air targets.

In particular, according to Delta, in October 2025, the General Cherry AIR system alone destroyed 548 targets, most of which were enemy reconnaissance and attack UAVs.

The company claims to be able to produce thousands of Bullets every month and is actively investing in scaling up production.

General Cherry has also launched an academy for interceptor drone pilots. This is a mobile training system that prepares operators to fly Bullet and AIR in a short time. Education and training are provided entirely at the company’s expense.
