Czech firm develops patrol drone armed with interceptors

Czech company KBP International unveiled its GRYF long-endurance unmanned aircraft at the Future Forces Forum in Prague on October 21, 2026, configured to carry counter-drone interceptors. The developer advertises endurance of up to 12 hours, a range of approximately 500 km, 150 km/h cruise speed and a 50 kg payload carried across four hardpoints. Two exhibition configurations showed small interceptor missiles and interceptor drones intended for release against hostile aircraft during aerial patrols. GRYF remains a proposed counter-UAS platform, with no disclosed military production order or independently demonstrated operational interception.
