The next type of aerial system likely to be stockpiled at scale by militaries worldwide is the interceptor drone. We've already seenearly evidenceof this across Eurasia, with Ukraine selling its interceptor drones to the highest bidder.

The Russia-Ukraine war accelerated the development of cheap one-way attack drones. Early in the war, missile interceptors used by Ukraine were too costly and drained the stockpiles of Western militaries at dangerous rates.

The proliferation of cheap interceptor drones levels the playing field and provides a low-cost solution against Russian-produced Geran and Iranian-designed Shahed attack drones.

Ukraine's interceptor drones are emerging as a cheap solution, costing roughly $1,000 to $3,000 each versus about $4 million for a Patriot missile used to down $20,000 Shahed drones. In the economics of war, this mismatch matters because missile use, especially in the U.S.-Iran conflict, has already outstripped the U.S.' annual production capacity.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has previously stated that Ukraine can produce at least 2,000 interceptors per day and could double that with more investment, supplying another 1,000 daily to allies.

First, we are capable of producing at least 2,000 effective and combat-proven interceptors every day. We can produce more – it depends on investment. We need about 1,000 interceptors a day, and we can supply at least another 1,000 a day to our allies.Second, we know how to…pic.twitter.com/vIB2qRho8P

This comes as Zelensky has emerged as a "Lord of War," with Ukraine pitching its highly developed, low-cost drones and robotic warfare technology to the highest bidder.

According to war blogUNITED24 Media, these are the four main interceptors Ukraine is offering to its allies around the world:

The most publicized yet is the P1-SUN, a Ukrainian play on words referring to its phallic bullet shape.

Created by SkyFall, it's a high-speed drone designed to take off vertically. At a speed of between 300 km/h, typical, and 450 km/h for its upper estimate, it's one of the fastest drones on the market, able to take out the most common models of Shahed-136 that cruise at roughly 185 km/ hour.
