Ukraine authorises private firms to arm interceptor drones with warheads and use manned aircraft as drone carriers

Published 6 November 2026

Kyiv’s Cabinet of Ministers has expanded private air-defence authority, allowing companies to equip interceptor drones with warheads across all Ukrainian territory and to use manned aircraft as platforms for launching or intercepting drones. Companies may now also protect infrastructure owned by other firms under contract, and may lend air-defence assets to each other with Air Force Command approval — changes a Russian milblog noted while contrasting them with the lack of comparable private-sector air-defence latitude in Russia.
