Shahed-Like Allag-E Interceptor Drone Presented at Dubai Airshow

The Dubai Airshow presented the Allag-E interceptor drone, which features a design similar to that of the Shahed family of drones.

The system was developed by EDGE, which already has another interceptor drone in its portfolio, the Vortex-E.

The first version of the Allag-E was shown in February 2025. Its composite airframe is built in a triangular flying-wing configuration. The propulsion system consists of two electric ducted fans that provide thrust in flight.

In the February version, both engines were mounted side by side on the upper part of the rear section. In the new modification, they are arranged symmetrically, with one mounted above and the other below the tail.

The Allag-E is 900 mm long, has a wingspan of 700 mm, and a takeoff weight of 8.3 kg.

Around 25% of the weight is taken up by a disc-type warhead weighing between 1.7 and 2.1 kg.

Detonation is triggered by proximity sensors, with their apertures visible on the fuselage ahead of the wing.

A fuze is positioned in front of the sensors, followed by the warhead itself, which forms an energy disc. The target drone is engaged as the Allag-E passes close by, with an effective range of more than five meters.

The drone is launched using a booster. After reaching the required speed, the electric fans are activated for level flight, and the booster separates.

The interceptor is guided by radio during the mid-course phase, using target data provided by ground-based sensors, primarily radars. The antenna is located on the right wing.

Once the target enters direct line of sight, an optoelectronic sensor is activated, enabling terminal guidance and bringing the warhead into the effective range.

The Allag-E is designed to intercept aerial targets at speeds of up to 200 km/h and altitudes of up to 3,000 meters. According to information presented at the exhibition, the drone has an operating range of about 15 km and a maximum speed exceeding 250 km/h.
