At the "SkyFall" factory in Ukraine, plastic drones are assembled using 3D printers and then equipped with technical tools. These devices are used against "Shahed" drones.
According to Baku TV, these effective drone catchers cost around 1,000 dollars. The price of each "Shahed-136" drone, designed by Iran, is between 50,000 and 100,000 dollars. Previously, rockets that were many times more expensive were used to shoot down those drones. For comparison, each "PAC-3" missile used in the United States' famous "Patriot" Air Defense system costs four million dollars. Now, it has become possible to shoot down a 50,000 dollar "Shahed" for 1,000 dollars.
This significant development acquired by Ukraine has already drawn interest worldwide. In fact, the company plans not only to meet Ukraine's needs but also to produce up to 50,000 drone catchers per month and export between 5,000 and 10,000 of them.
Especially apart from Ukraine, special facilities in Middle Eastern countries are currently exposed to attacks by Iranian drones, the "Shahed"s. "We have received inquiries from our partners in the Middle East and other countries about this. I cannot provide detailed information on which specific countries these are, the initiatives, or projects. Our product is the cheapest drone for the Ukrainian army and other countries as well. Even if it is for export, the price will still be the cheapest because there are no cheaper drone catchers in the world," said a representative of the "SkyFall" drone company.
