Amazing Drones
A Kharkiv interceptor-drone maker, now majority-owned by Japan's Terra Drone, producing the low-cost Terra A1.
Amazing Drones is a Kharkiv-based interceptor-drone maker, founded by Ukrainian engineers and military personnel and building on combat experience against Russian air attacks. Its best-known product is the Terra A1, a low-cost electric interceptor co-developed with the Japanese firm Terra Drone and aimed at the Shahed-type loitering munitions Russia launches at Ukrainian cities. The A1 is reported to reach about 300 km/h with a range near 32 kilometres, handling the full sequence from target detection to neutralisation within a roughly 15-minute flight; its electric propulsion keeps noise and heat signature low. The drone is priced from about $3,000, part of a deliberate push toward interceptors cheap enough to trade against incoming drones at scale.
The Terra A1 entered combat use in Ukraine in April 2026, first fielded by an anti-Shahed unit in the Chernihiv region, with a second variant, the Terra A2, being scaled into production. The two companies’ relationship deepened over 2026: Terra Drone announced a strategic investment in Amazing Drones at the end of March, then acquired a 50 percent stake through its European arm, consolidating Amazing Drones as a subsidiary and making it the production base for the Terra A-series.
Amazing Drones sits among the Ukrainian and allied teams racing to field affordable drone interceptors, a field that also includes Wild Hornets , Fire Point and developers working through the Brave1 cluster.
