Wild Hornets work: How many shock drones of the Russian Federation have knocked down the interceptors (video)
According to the head of Alex Roslin, published in Financial Times, since May 2025, the drones of Sting have destroyed about 600 air purposes, including Iranian shock UAVs "Shahd-136/Geran-2" and the prisoners of Herbera's drones. It should be noted that the first confirmed video of the lesion "Herbera" appeared on May 13, and "Shahaneda" - May 19. The efficiency of Sting's drones against Shahaneda and Gerber varies from 60% to 90%, which is considered a high rate.
However, for a reliable interception of one goal, as noted by Defense Express analysts, an average of three drones of Sing is required. Thus, at least 1800 interceptors have attracted 600 Russian drones. The cost of one Sting is about $ 2100, which makes the overall intercement of Shahaneda about $ 6300 - much cheaper than the use of anti -aircraft missile complexes.
At the same time, this amount only reflects the "goal" cost of drones and does not cover the cost of detecting, training operators and logistics. Roslin emphasized that even with these factors, drones-interceptors have already taken their place in the multilayered system of Ukrainian air defense, providing flexibility and economy. According to him, Wild Hornets actively expands the production of Sing to cover the growing needs of the front.
Sting is a classic quadcopter with a large dome, inside which is a battle part and camera. Management is carried out by the operator from the ground through virtual reality glasses, which enables the pilot to observe real time flight and accurately bring the drone to the target. The development is equipped with an artificial intelligence based on the basis of artificial intelligence, which provides higher accuracy of interception.
