- Ukrainian company CENTRE ZAKHYST announced the development and combat testing of its ODIN Anti-Shahed system, featuring the ODIN Win_Hit interceptor drone designed to engage attack UAVs.
- The company said the system supports multi-platform launches and day-to-night operations, with no official confirmation of adoption by the Ukrainian military.
A Ukrainian defense company, CENTRE ZAKHYST, has announced the successful development and combat testing of its ODIN counter-unmanned aerial systems, a domestically produced solution designed to intercept attack drones, according to a statement released by the company.
CENTRE ZAKHYST said the system has been implemented in combat conditions and tested both at training grounds and on the front line, where its performance was evaluated against real aerial threats. The company did not disclose deployment numbers or the specific units using the system.
As noted by CENTRE ZAKHYST, the core element of the solution is the ODIN Win_Hit high-speed interceptor drone, which was developed in-house to operate in difficult battlefield environments. The interceptor is designed to engage low-altitude aerial targets, including Shahed-type one-way attack drones.
According to the company, the ODIN Win_Hit interceptor reaches speeds of up to 300 kilometers per hour, enabling rapid engagement of fast-moving targets. The system can be launched from ground-based stations, handheld platforms, or from airborne carriers, allowing flexible employment depending on mission requirements.
CENTRE ZAKHYST stated that the ODIN system supports day, twilight, and night operations, providing continuous coverage across different operational conditions. The company added that the system was tested under combat conditions to confirm reliability and operational effectiveness.
Ukraine has increasingly relied on domestic counter-drone development as Russian forces continue to use one-way attack drones against military and civilian infrastructure. In response, Ukrainian manufacturers have focused on low-cost and rapidly deployable interception systems to complement existing air defense assets.
CENTRE ZAKHYST said it remains focused on advancing its technologies to support the Ukrainian Armed Forces, though no official military statement has been released regarding the system’s formal adoption or operational status.
