Tenebris

Tenebris is a Ukrainian miltech company that develops high-speed interceptor drones for shooting down hostile UAVs. Its lead system is the Bagnet, an anti-Shahed interceptor introduced in early 2024 and designed to counter the rising speed and end-game manoeuvring of Russian Shahed and Gerbera loitering munitions.

The Bagnet reportedly cruises at around 140 km/h, reaches up to 250 km/h, flies for about 20 minutes, and carries a roughly one-kilogram warhead out to about 15 kilometres. Its distinguishing feature is autonomy: once launched, an onboard electro-optical sensor in the nose and computer-vision software guide the drone onto its target without relying on GPS or a radio link, an approach suited to the heavy electronic-warfare environment over the front. The terminal-guidance system is supplied by the French startup Alta Ares, while the company has said the drone is largely built from domestically produced components.

Bagnet sits within a crowded Ukrainian field of purpose-built drone-hunters that has emerged since 2024, alongside systems such as the Sting from Wild Hornets and the Freya interceptor from Fire Point. Tenebris has also signalled work with European partners on faster, turbojet-powered interceptors.
