Technology Digest: Key Events of November in the Development of Unmanned Systems and Electronic Warfare Tools

In November 2025, the development of unmanned systems demonstrated a new level of “drone synergy”: Ukrainian naval drones Magura V7 for the first time destroyed a Russian Su‑30 with an R‑73 missile, while the company “General Chereshnya” introduced interceptor drones capable of downing larger targets. The United States announced plans to purchase up to one million UAVs annually, while the French company Atreyd is testing its “Drone Wall” system in Ukraine, Germany’s Diehl tested the Cicada air‑defense drone, and Israel’s Rafael unveiled the L‑SPIKE 1x. The European company Destinus showcased the Hornet system, and PGZ (Poland) together with Frankenburg Technologies (Estonia) signed an agreement on joint production. In Ukraine, serial production of the Octopus drone for intercepting Shahed drones has begun, along with mass production of STING and domestic analogues of DJI Mavic; the company M‑Fly raised $1.4 million for the development of a camera stabilizer. In the field of ground robotic complexes, ARX Robotics moved part of its Gereon RCS production to Ukraine, while local firms Ratel and Tencore are preparing mobile workshops for servicing GRCs. In the sphere of electronic warfare, the Greek company ΕΑΒ modernized the “Centaur” system, and the Ukrainian Lima complex is reportedly capable of diverting Kinzhal missiles from their course.
