Ukraine's Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal reported the information."Octopus is a Ukrainian technology for intercepting Shaheds, developed by the Armed Forces and proven in battle. It works at night, under jamming, and at low altitudes. Thus, we are launching interceptors into serial production so that they can protect the Ukrainian sky as soon as possible," he wrote.Shmyhal adds that the drone technology has been transferred to the first three manufacturers, and another 11 are preparing production lines."The Defense Ministry continues to implement a policy of open interaction with Ukrainian manufacturers, creating conditions for a quick transition from innovations to serial combat solutions that strengthen Ukraine's defense capabilities," the minister wrote.Earlier, Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine had started producing interceptor drones together with the United States.
