Description
PTASHKA DRONES LLC is a Ukrainian defense technology company specializing in the development and manufacturing of unmanned aerial systems and counter-UAS solutions. Founded in 2024, the company focuses on delivering practical technologies shaped by the operational experience of Ukraine's Defense Forces.
One of the company's key areas of expertise is counter-drone technology. PTASHKA DRONES has developed a family of net-launching systems designed to intercept hostile UAVs. These solutions can be integrated with FPV drones, DJI Mavic platforms, and other small unmanned aircraft, providing flexible options for countering aerial threats.
Every product is developed in close cooperation with military operators. Continuous feedback from the battlefield is used to improve reliability, ergonomics, and operational effectiveness. This approach led to the development of the upgraded Handheld system “Net Launcher Ptashka”, featuring faster reloading, improved ergonomics, and enhanced modularity.
Another strategic direction is the development of fiber-optic controlled strike drone systems. PTASHKA DRONES is also investing in its own fiber-optic production and winding technologies, strengthening domestic technological capabilities and supporting the development of independent Ukrainian defense manufacturing.
Beyond product development, the company contributes to the training of specialists by organizing practical FPV engineering and drone operator courses. These programs are designed to address the rapidly evolving requirements of modern warfare.
The company's representatives consistently emphasize rapid adaptation, continuous innovation, and close collaboration with end users as the foundation of their engineering philosophy. Their objective is to shorten the path from engineering concept to operational deployment, ensuring that new technologies can quickly respond to emerging battlefield challenges.
At MSPO 2026, PTASHKA DRONES presents its latest developments in unmanned systems and counter-UAS technologies, demonstrating practical solutions created in response to the real operational needs of modern armed forces.

HANDHELD SYSTEM NET LAUNCHER PTASHKA PTASHKA DRONES
HANDHELD SYSTEM NET LAUNCHER PTASHKA PTASHKA DRONES
Handheld system “Net Launcher Ptashka”, developed and manufactured by Ptashka Drones LLC (Ukraine), is a compact, fully mechanical close-range counter-measure system, designed for physical interception and neutralization of enemy FPV drones, kamikaze drones, reconnaissance quadcopters etc.
This device serves as an autonomous 'last-resort system' for military personnel operating in areas with a direct threat of engagement by enemy UAVs.
Handheld system “Net Launcher Ptashka” operates on the principle of kinetic launching of a high-strength mesh web utilizing the energy of propellant gases from blank cartridges.
Structurally, the system consists of the following primary components:
• Barrel assembly and trigger mechanism: An ergonomic pistol-like grip featuring a trigger mechanism, a manual safety lever, an integrated Picatinny rail on top, and an cartridge extracting tool – ramrod, hidden inside of the pistol grip, which is used for maintenance and cartridge case extraction.
• Disposable net cartridge: A disposable container with a textile net (3.7 × 3.7 meters) packed in a certain way, launching weights (sinkers) around the perimeter, and a propellant powder charge.
• Quick-release attachment element: A bayonet coupling designed for the instantaneous securing of the cartridge onto the barrel assembly, neutralizing the need for time-consuming screwing.
• Gas distribution system: The engineering principle of the gas distribution system is based on the laws of applied gas dynamics and the conversion of the chemical energy of gunpowder into the kinetic energy of directional body movement.

PTASHKA 17-0-50 km UAV PTASHKA DRONES
PTASHKA 17-0-50 km UAV PTASHKA DRONES
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle "Ptashka 17-O-50 km", developed and manufactured by Ptashka Drones LLC (Ukraine), is a strike unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), whose key feature is the use of fiber-optic communication technology, enabling uninterrupted control even in environments with intensive enemy electronic warfare (EW) jamming. The UAV is equipped with a 50-kilometer fiber-optic spool, allowing it to conduct precision strikes deep behind enemy lines.
UAV “Ptashka 17-O-50 km” has been successfully deployed in combat operations, demonstrating reliable performance and high mission effectiveness on the battlefield.
UAV «Ptashka 17-O-50 km» is a strike UAV designed for precision engagement of personnel, armored vehicles, fortified positions, and EW systems in heavily jammed environments. Its fiber-optic communication link provides an operational range of up to 50 km, ensuring complete immunity to radio-frequency jamming and signal interception. In March 2026, the UAV was codified by the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine and received a NATO Stock Number (NSN).
The UAV features a reinforced 17-inch X-frame made of T700/T800 carbon fiber and STEF-1 fiberglass laminate, with IP54 protection against dust and water. It is powered by four 5220 500KV brushless motors, a 4-in-1 80–100A ESC, and a 50,000 mAh (2×8S5P) Li-Ion/Li-Po battery.
The fiber-optic system uses a 50 km single-mode cable with WDM technology, providing bidirectional data transmission over a single fiber at speeds exceeding 1 Gbps and delivering stable, zero-latency 1080p/60 FPS video.
The UAV carries payloads up to 3.5 kg (recommended 1.0–1.5 kg for maximum range). Navigation relies on an inertial system and optical flow sensors, eliminating dependence on GPS and ensuring resistance to spoofing and jamming.

PTASHKA is a professional portable analog video signal detector designed to give operators clear, actionable awareness of RF activity in the field. Instead of simply indicating that a signal is present, PTASHKA provides the context needed to understand and verify it — including frequency information, signal parameters, and visual confirmation. The device continuously monitors three key video bands and helps operators move quickly from detection to identification. With automatic scanning, intuitive controls, an integrated display, audio alerts, and built-in diagnostics, PTASHKA turns complex RF activity into practical information for faster decision-making. Its rugged, field-oriented design makes it suitable for demanding operational environments where speed, clarity, and reliability matter.
PTASHKA is a portable analog video signal detection and monitoring system featuring three dedicated RF bands: 1.2 GHz, 3.3 GHz, and 5.8 GHz. The device performs automatic spectrum scanning and parameter-based signal analysis, with support for custom scan limits and fixed-frequency operation. A dedicated microcontroller handles scanning tasks to reduce the load on the main processor. Detected frequencies are displayed in a clear list, with active signals highlighted for rapid identification. The workflow includes scanning, parameter analysis, frequency display, audio alerting, and automatic or manual video activation. PTASHKA can provide visual confirmation of detected analog video signals directly on its integrated display. The system also incorporates hardware self-checks, receiver and display diagnostics, physical controls, rapid settings access, and firmware updates via Wi-Fi. Automatic restart and firmware recovery features support reliable field operation.
