An innovative interceptor drone, the "Shunkor-88," capable of reaching speeds of up to 450 km/h, has been developed in Uzbekistan.

Uzbekistan, Tashkent – Podrobno.uz News Agency.

A team led by Bilolkhon Ismailov has developed the "Shunkor-88" interceptor drone in Uzbekistan, designed to combat unmanned aerial vehicles. The project was presented as part of the "Engineers of the Future" competition.

According to the developers, the "Shunkor-88" can reach speeds of up to 450 kilometers per hour and engage threatening drones at a range of 8 to 10 kilometers. The drone is planned for use in airspace protection.

One of the key advantages of the new development is its cost-effectiveness. While the cost of a single air defense missile can range from $2 to $5 million, production of the "Shunkor-88" is estimated at approximately $20,000 to $50,000. The creators are confident that such technologies will offer an affordable alternative and contribute to the development of domestic engineering solutions.
