The basic model, Shrike, is a compact 7-inch quadrotor FPV drone with high maneuverability, used for striking point targets. It is guided by a video sensor, achieves a maximum flight speed of up to 100 km/h, a range of up to 30 km, and a ceiling of up to 800 m. Flight endurance is 15 minutes, and the explosive payload weighs 1.5 kg.
The Shrike 10 is an enlarged 10-inch quadrotor FPV drone used for striking ground and aerial targets. It is guided by a video sensor, achieves a maximum flight speed of up to 120 km/h, a range of up to 30 km, and a ceiling of up to 800 m. Flight endurance is 15 minutes, and the explosive payload weighs 3 kg. It was used in the first ever confirmed shootdown of a Russian Mi-8 helicopter, valued at approximately 10 million USD, which took place on September 29, 2025, and was carried out by soldiers of the 1st Unmanned Systems Battalion “Chyzhaky vysot” (Ukrainian for “Aerial Predators”) of the 59th Independent Assault Brigade.
The Shrike 10CV is a variant featuring SkyFall’s own computer vision system for target acquisition and guidance, consisting of a video camera and an infrared sensor. The remaining parameters are the same as the base model, except for the warhead, which weighs 2.5 kg.
The Shrike 10T is a variant equipped with a thermal imaging system designed for night operations, covering both the interception of hostile drones (documented shootdowns of Russian ZALA, Orlan, and Supercam series drones have been recorded) and ground targets – it has been used, for example, to destroy a TOS-1A Solntsepyok thermobaric multiple rocket launcher, valued at approximately 15 million USD. The tactical and technical specifications are identical to those of the base Shrike 10.
The Vampire is a six-rotor bomber drone, colloquially known as Baba Yaga, which is the most widely used drone of its type by Ukrainian forces at the front. The drone has an effective range of 45 km, limited by the radio communications system, moves at speeds of up to 80 km/h, and carries a combat payload, such as four anti-tank grenades, of up to 15 kg.
Since entering service, they have completed over 2 million combat missions, destroying numerous pieces of Russian military equipment, including the RB-301B Borisoglebsk-2 electronic warfare jamming system (valued at 200 million USD), the 1L261 radar of the 1L260 Zoopark-1M counter-battery system (valued at 25 million USD), and the aforementioned TOS-1A Solntsepyok launcher. The Vampire also played a key logistical role following the destruction by Russian forces on June 6, 2023, of the dam forming part of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant in Nova Kakhovka.
The P1-SUN is an interceptor drone designed primarily to destroy Russian Geran-2 combat drones and their derivative versions (Iranian licensed Shahed-136). It is an effective, low-cost solution with high cruising speed and maneuverability. It is guided to its target using the aforementioned computer vision system, achieves a speed of up to 310 km/h, a flight range of up to 33 km, and a ceiling of up to 9,000 m. Flight endurance is 20 minutes, and the warhead weighs 800 g.
