Ukraine reveals Bullet interceptor drone to target Shahed drones and air defense systems.

At Enforce Tac 2026 in Germany, Czech Republic’s Archon Firearms presented the Bullet modular tactical UAV developed by Ukraine's Degree Trans LLC.

At Enforce Tac 2026 in Nuremberg, the Ukrainian company Degree-Trans LLC presented the Bullet modular tactical UAV designed for interception, strike, and reconnaissance missions in contested environments. The system reflects development work conducted by the Ukrainian developer based on operational experience gathered during the defense of Ukraine. The aircraft was displayed during the exhibition with support from Archon Firearms s.r.o., a Czech company that provided exhibition space within its pavilion for the presentation of the Ukrainian system.

The Bullet UAV was developed entirely by Degree-Trans LLC and represents a modular aircraft architecture intended to support multiple mission configurations. The concept focuses on enabling rapid reconfiguration between roles through interchangeable mission equipment installed in the payload section. The aircraft can be configured for interception missions against aerial threats, reconnaissance operations, or strike missions depending on the installed payload and mission equipment. Development of the system reflects operational lessons derived from ongoing combat conditions, where rapid deployment, flexible mission configuration, and the ability to operate from dispersed launch locations have become essential requirements.

During Enforce Tac 2026, the Bullet UAV was presented independently by Degree-Trans LLC. Archon Firearms s.r.o., based in the Czech Republic, provided exhibition space to allow the Ukrainian team to display the aircraft during the event. Archon Defense was also present at the booth as a separate co-exhibitor showcasing its Type-L light machine gun. However, Archon Defense is not involved in the development of the Bullet UAV, and no joint development program currently exists between Degree-Trans LLC and Archon Firearms. The UAV program remains a Ukrainian development initiative led by Degree-Trans LLC.

The Bullet aircraft is intended to support a range of operational roles including interception of hostile drones, reconnaissance missions, and strike operations against selected ground targets. The interceptor configuration is designed to counter aerial threats such as reconnaissance drones and loitering munitions. The system can also be configured to conduct strike missions against ground-based objectives such as radar installations, air defense assets, rocket launchers, transport vehicles, and logistical infrastructure when equipped for that role.

The UAV incorporates a modular payload architecture allowing mission equipment to be replaced depending on operational requirements. Payload options can include surveillance systems, communication equipment, or weaponized configurations designed for interception or strike missions. This modular design allows operators to adapt the aircraft to different operational scenarios without requiring structural modifications to the airframe.

Available information indicates that the aircraft can operate at ranges up to 150 km with payload capacity reaching 5 kg and flight altitude up to 5,500 m. Launch preparation can be completed in less than seven minutes, enabling rapid deployment from dispersed positions or forward operating locations. Mobile launch systems allow the aircraft to operate without fixed infrastructure, supporting deployment from field positions and concealed locations. The UAV can be launched using catapult systems, runways, or vehicle-based launch devices depending on operational conditions.

Navigation and control combine remote operation and autonomous flight functions supported by encrypted communication links. In the event of communication disruption, onboard navigation systems allow the aircraft to continue flight using internal guidance systems while searching for designated targets depending on mission configuration. These features are intended to support operations in environments affected by electronic warfare or signal interference.

Degree-Trans LLC states that the Bullet program remains under development and testing with the objective of supporting future scalable production. The aircraft reflects technological developments driven by operational requirements observed during the defense of Ukraine and aims to provide a flexible UAV solution capable of performing interception, reconnaissance, and strike missions. The developer has not publicly released detailed operational doctrines or weapon configuration specifications for the system.
