Evidence & current status
Ukraine MoD reports combat use and procurement. Claims come from a party to the conflict; the order size is not a verified delivered inventory.
Role & programme
An interceptor programme developed within Ukraine’s Armed Forces. The ministry announced procurement of 8,000 interceptors on 30 April 2026.
Ukraine’s MoD reports prior use and describes a licensing model involving Ukrainian manufacturers and the UK government. The procurement quantity is an order, not a delivered-aircraft count. A January 2026 demonstration concerned a newer version; public numerical airframe data remains limited. Claimed performance under interference is attributed to the ministry, not treated as a universal guarantee.
