Ukrainian defence-tech company General Cherry and Croatian drone manufacturer Orqa have signed a memorandum of cooperation to produce counter-drone systems for NATO and allied nations. The partnership will combine General Cherry's battlefield experience with Orqa's manufacturing expertise to develop interceptor drones and counter-UAV systems. Joint manufacturing facilities are being established in Croatia and Ukraine, with first products expected soon. General Cherry ranks first in interceptor drones among Ukrainian FPV drone developers, whilst Orqa produces components for customers in over 50 markets, including 24 NATO member states. The agreement marks the first time General Cherry's interceptor drone capability will be available outside Ukraine. All Orqa products are manufactured without Chinese components through vertically integrated production.

Ukrainian defence company General Cherry has partnered with US corporation Wilcox Industries to establish a joint venture producing FPV and interceptor drones. Development will take place at Wilcox's facility in Newington, New Hampshire. The project is entering the approval phase before formal registration, though General Cherry stated it already has full endorsement from Ukraine's president and government. Interceptor drones will be the flagship product, combining Ukrainian experience with American technological expertise. Wilcox Industries, founded in 1982, manufactures high-tech military equipment. General Cherry has 33 codified products in its portfolio, including the AIR interceptor drone, which recently shot down a rare Russian AI-powered kamikaze drone. The company aims to develop advanced defensive and strike capabilities through the partnership.
