SkyFall P1-SUN
P1-Sun, P1-SUN JetKiller (jet-hunter variant)
Very cheap 3D-printed interceptor drone flown into Shahed-type drones to destroy them with a small warhead.
$1,000 Per drone, 'from $1,000' as stated by a SkyFall representative; the about $3,000 figure in some coverage is a ministry adviser's average for all Ukrainian interceptor drones, not the P1-SUN.

Base P1-SUN figures (over 300 km/h, about 23 km reach, 5,000 m ceiling, 800 g warhead, 17+ minutes endurance) come from the maker. SkyFall later said an upgraded version reaches about 450 km/h, and the separate JetKiller variant claims 370 km/h, 30 km range and a 500 g warhead. Kill claims are wartime figures from SkyFall and a Ukrainian defence ministry adviser: about 700 Shaheds by February 2026 and more than 3,000 Shahed-type drones in 2026 by April.
