Tenebris

Tenebris is a Ukrainian miltech company that develops high-speed interceptor drones for shooting down hostile UAVs. Its lead system is the Bagnet, an anti-Shahed interceptor introduced in early 2024 and designed to counter the rising speed and end-game manoeuvring of Russian Shahed and Gerbera loitering munitions.

The Bagnet reportedly cruises at around 140 km/h, reaches up to 250 km/h, flies for about 20 minutes, and carries a roughly one-kilogram warhead out to about 15 kilometres. Its distinguishing feature is autonomy: once launched, an onboard electro-optical sensor in the nose and computer-vision software guide the drone onto its target without relying on GPS or a radio link, an approach suited to the heavy electronic-warfare environment over the front. The terminal-guidance system is supplied by the French startup Alta Ares, while the company has said the drone is largely built from domestically produced components.

Bagnet sits within a crowded Ukrainian field of purpose-built drone-hunters that has emerged since 2024, alongside systems such as the Sting from Wild Hornets and the Freya interceptor from Fire Point . Tenebris has also signalled work with European partners on faster, turbojet-powered interceptors.
