Skyfall Unveils P1‑SUN 'JetKiller' Interceptor Drone

Skyfall says the JetKiller is built to hunt Russia’s faster jet-powered Shahed drones with mass production set to begin in August 2026.

Overview

  • Skyfall publicly displayed the P1‑SUN JetKiller at the Farnborough Airshow this month and described it as a version of its interceptor family tailored to attack jet-powered Shahed/Geran drones.
  • The company gave specific performance figures: a top speed of about 370 km/h, roughly 30 km range, operations up to 9,000 meters, 15 minutes endurance, and a 500‑gram warhead guided by an AI terminal system.
  • Skyfall says the JetKiller has already been combat tested with dozens of confirmed frontline hits and that it can be launched from aircraft or the ground to extend range and save battery life.
  • The firm plans to begin serial production in August 2026 and is targeting an ambitious output of about 50,000 interceptors per month as it scales up capacity and a recent partnership with Airbus Defense and Space.
  • Independent verification of the JetKiller’s combat tallies, sustained performance in varied conditions, and the company’s planned production ramp remains limited in published reporting, so key claims are currently company‑sourced.
