The Armed Forces of Ukraine have started deploying the 'TOR A' carrier drone system, designed to intercept enemy unmanned aerial vehicles. According to the manufacturer Altair Technologies, the carrier acts as a scout and communication relay, extending the range of its JR-1 interceptor drones. The single-engine TOR A has two hardpoints capable of carrying 6 kg of payload, which equates to two interceptors. This system represents a new, cost-effective layer in Ukraine's evolving air defense network against Russian drone attacks.
