Ukrainian defense-tech company “General Chereshnia” drones demonstrated record-breaking operational efficiency on the front line in March. Their UAVs carried out 11,473 strikes, 5,800 more than in the previous period, according to UNIAN.

Strikes are turning sky into field of total destruction 

The company has also become the absolute leader in the number of enemy UAVs neutralized, confirming its high effectiveness in countering aerial threats.

The sharp increase in combat activity reflects a massive expansion in the deployment of “General Chereshnya” drones. The highest figures are recorded specifically in the segment of enemy UAV interceptions, where the system has taken first place among comparable solutions.

Russian Molniya disappears under storm of fire

A separate sharp increase in effectiveness against strike drones of the “Molniya” type has been recorded. In March, three times as many of them were destroyed as before.

According to military units, Russia actively uses these drones for mass strikes on positions and fortifications — up to 30–50 attacks per daylight period on a single front sector. At the same time, 43% of all “Molniya” drones were neutralized by “General Chereshnia” systems.

Recently, the Russian military has upgraded Molniya drones, turning them into low-cost reconnaissance and surveillance platforms that are increasingly replacing traditional strike roles.

The key issue with them is low radar visibility due to low-altitude flight and the use of airframe materials, which makes interception by anti-drone systems significantly more difficult.

Ukrainians are hunting “prince” of Russian drones

The effectiveness of neutralizing reconnaissance drones of the “Knyaz (or prince) Vityaz Oleg” type has increased fourfold, making them the second-most widespread type after ZALA.

It was the “General Chereshnia” systems that accounted for the greatest number of drone losses, significantly reducing the enemy’s ability to conduct aerial reconnaissance.

Separately, the company leads in the number of accrued “e-points” for successful strikes, as well as in the number of uniquely verified targets destroyed during daytime operations.

This positions it as one of the key players in the modern combat unmanned systems sector.
