The solution is specifically designed for operations in environments characterised by intense radio interference and complex topography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system is developed as a standalone module that can be mounted on a carrier drone or removed to allow the platform to be reconfigured for alternative tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The device is equipped with steerable antennas featuring precision positioning, enabling it to maintain a stable communication link even over long distances. The maximum operational range for video and telemetry transmission is stated at up to 25 km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-left wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/en\/insights\/migel-interceptor-pilot\/\"><strong>He shot down 24 Shahed drones in one night<\/strong>: an interview with \u201cMiguel,\u201d an interceptor drone pilot who set a record<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8216;Vishchun-P&#8217; is compatible with the majority of unmanned systems currently deployed on the battlefield and can be integrated into various drone control architectures. The design incorporates Helix and Maple Wireless antennas, alongside an Emax ES3054 servo responsible for precision targeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company also presented the &#8216;Vishchun-M&#8217; variant, optimised for use with Mavic-type drones. Both versions were developed in collaboration with combat units, allowing the developers to incorporate real-world operational requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cost of a single relay system is 33,000 UAH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier, BlueBird Tech increased production of the <a href=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/en\/2026\/01\/chuyka3-production-increased\/\">&#8216;Chuika 3.0&#8217; drone detector<\/a> by a factor of 100.
