The drone was specifically designed to intercept enemy strike drones such as Shahed/Geran and Gerbera, the Ministry of Defense reported. It also performs effectively against Russian reconnaissance drones, including Zala, Supercam, and Skat, making it a versatile air defense tool.

The Shvidun is built from high-strength composite materials, combining light weight and durability. Weighing about 8 kg with a wingspan of nearly 2 meters, the drone can reach altitudes of up to 6 km.

One of the key advantages of the system is its speed, which exceeds 250 km/h. Engineers incorporated solutions that eliminate flutter — body vibrations at high speeds — ensuring the drone camera delivers a clear image to the operator for accurate targeting.
