TAF Industries upgrades Kolibri 10 into an interceptor. The company will also manufacture Octopus

Ukrainian defence tech company TAF Industries entered the interceptor drone segment. The manufacturer has upgraded its Kolibri 10 FPV drone to enable it to shoot down high-speed aerial targets.

According to the manufacturer, frontline units began adapting Kolibri 10 for interception roles in the field, which prompted the company to formalise and refine the solution into a serial production-grade product.

The upgraded UAV has been designated TAF-I10. It carries a 0.5 kg payload and is operated via manual control, with maximum speeds exceeding 200 km/h. Its tactical range is 15 km, with a flight endurance of up to 25 minutes and an operational ceiling of 3,000 metres. The system can be configured with daytime, night-vision, or digital camera sensors.

The platform features enhanced EW resilience and a secure communications link protected by encrypted MilELRS keys.

Furthermore, TAF Industries is preparing the Octopus interceptor for mass production. This system is a certified development of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine and features an automated target acquisition module. Both interceptors are now available in a dedicated category on the manufacturer’s website.
