Octopus-100

Octopus-100 is an interceptor drone of Ukrainian design and British manufacture[1]. Thousands of units are planned to be mass-produced by the UK for Ukraine under the aegis of Build With Ukraine project, a production figure which speaks to the weapon's scalability and modularity (a design philosophy for rapid field deployment).[2] Technical specifications have not been officially released.[3] The project reflects tighter military-industrial London-Kyiv co-operation in the present Russo-Ukraine war, being "the first serial production of a Ukrainian combat drone within a NATO country".[4] President Volodymyr Zelenskyy demonstrated the Octopus-100 to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer late October 2025.[5]
