Octopus-100 is an interceptor drone of Ukrainian design and British manufacture.[1][2][3][4]
History
[edit]The project reflects tighter military-industrial London-Kyiv co-operation in the present Russo-Ukraine war, being "the first serial production of a Ukrainian combat drone within a NATO country".[5]
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy demonstrated the Octopus-100 to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer late October 2025.[6]
Thousands of units are planned to be mass-produced by the UK for Ukraine under the aegis of Build With Ukraine project, a production figure which speaks to the weapon's scalability and modularity (a design philosophy for rapid field deployment).[7]
Design
[edit]Technical specifications have not been officially released.[8]
