SKYRIPER
A Ukrainian unmanned-systems maker that builds drone guidance components and licence-produces the Octopus-100 air-defence interceptor.
SKYRIPER is a Ukrainian developer of unmanned systems whose catalogue spans FPV strike drones, bombers, and relay aircraft, along with drone components and guidance electronics. The company says it has delivered more than 60,000 drones to over 100 frontline units and cites a production capacity of around 20,000 drones a month. It has also developed a universal guidance system used on Triglav drones.
In 2026 SKYRIPER joined the serial production of the Octopus-100, an interceptor created by the technical team of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence to counter Shahed-type loitering munitions and reconnaissance UAVs. The Octopus-100 carries an automatic terminal-guidance module, reaches speeds above 300 km/h, and can operate at altitudes up to roughly 4,500 metres; it is built under licence by several firms, including TAF Industries and UNWAVE, after component supply had earlier limited how fast output could scale. SKYRIPER’s entry sits within the wider Brave1 -era push to mass-produce affordable interceptors, a field that also includes the Wild Hornets Sting and the Freya interceptor from Fire Point .
