Ukraine has introduced the SHOT-L1 drone, designed to autonomously detect and attack Russian electronic warfare systems. The drone can identify radio emission sources and lock onto the strongest signal, or switch to a pre-designated target if no signals are detected. It features a thermal imaging camera, an analog video link, and a terminal guidance system, with a cruising speed of 100 km/h and a flight endurance of up to 60 minutes. The SHOT-L1 can carry a payload of 4 kg and is priced at UAH 416,000 (approximately US$9,270) on the Brave1 Market. The drone targets systems such as the R-340RP Pole-21, R-330Zh Zhitel, and Mgla. In 2026, over 590,000 UAVs were ordered through the Brave1 Market, highlighting a significant increase in demand for drone technology in military applications.
