About us
General Cherry is a Ukrainian miltech company that develops and mass-produces FPV kamikaze strike drones. Our products are designed for real frontline tasks and are used in combat by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We work closely with pilots, keep in touch to receive all feedback, and quickly make production changes. Improved RX, new frequencies, stable video signal, reinforced Ukrainian carbon frames β all of this was implemented to ensure that the drone works when needed. Our products are officially approved for use by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It is already being used across 100+ different brigades in the hottest areas. Commanders' feedback confirms the drones' effectiveness and the need for further supplies. Our production processes are organised to quickly respond to changing conditions at the front and scale the solutions we need. We have no unnecessary stages β only work that yields results. War veterans are a special part of our team. They are already among us: in production, development, and testing drones. Their combat experience is what helps us make our products even more effective. The main thing for us is that the drone hits and the pilot returns.

- General Cherry is proud to announce our selection to compete in the Phase 2 Qualifier of the Drone Dominance Program at Camp Grayling, Michigan. We are honored to join the organizations advancing the strategic potential of U.S. unmanned systems β in collaboration with the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), the Test Resource Management Center (TRMC), and the United States National Drone Association Drone Association (USNDA). This selection reflects our team's dedication and our continued commitment to delivering real impact in the defense innovation space. We look forward to what's ahead.
- 99 confirmed hits out of 110 sorties. After the latest rotation, General Cherry AIR shared their strike statistics β 99 confirmed hits from 110 drones deployed. That includes cases where a single drone hit multiple targets in succession and cut fiber-optic connections to enemy assets mid-engagement. For context: according to official DELTA statistics, our drones destroyed 11,500 targets in March 2026 alone. We're not the largest supplier by volume. But we are #1 in effectiveness β by hit count, strike rate, and efficiency per unit β across every section of the front where our products are deployed. How? We systematically improve every drone based on direct feedback from units in the field. We test alongside combat pilots. We treat every rotation as an R&D cycle. The mission is simple: help you own the sky more effectively.#GeneralCherry #UAV #FPV #Defense #Ukraine #Drones
- Over 100 investors, policymakers, and defence industry executives came together in Washington, D.C. Together with Diia.City.Union., Ukraine House, and General Cherry, Defence Builder hosted a dedicated forum on Ukraine's defence tech sector and its partnership potential with the United States. In the room: senior representatives from the State Department, Defense Innovation Unit, congressional offices, and U.S. defence investment funds. The agenda was clear β co-development, joint ventures, IP structuring, and market entry. The building blocks of a U.S.-Ukraine defence partnership that outlasts the war. Three things that defined the conversation: β 80% of incoming Russian strikes on the front line are now neutralized by non-exquisite equipment. A model the rest of the world is only beginning to understand. β Investing in Ukrainian defence is no longer charity. Buntar Aerospace, Sine Engineering, Swarmer β real deals, real markets. β Once export is fully open, the defence sector will double Ukraine's current $6β7B IT export figures. Ukraine's defence tech sector is moving fast. And allied demand is real.

- Starting January 2026, cruise control is standard in every General Cherry 10'' drone. Same price. The drone holds speed and altitude automatically. Operators focus on the mission, not on stick management. Power systems run cleaner. In EW environments the system stays stable even during brief signal loss. We absorbed the cost. The price didn't move. If your product is used in active combat every day, it has to work better than yesterday.
- We are proud to announce: General Cherry has won the Forbes Ukraine award in the "Most Dynamically Growing Company" category β and ranked 19th in the prestigious "Employer of the Year" list. But behind every number is a mission that drives us forward. Our drones are trusted by Ukrainian defenders on the frontline β and that responsibility shapes everything we do: how fast we move, how hard we work, and how seriously we take every decision. This award is a reflection of every person on our team who builds with purpose β and every defender who relies on our technology where it matters most. To our team, our partners, and everyone standing behind what we do β thank you.

Let the results speak. Last month, General Cherry drones ranked #1 in Ukraine for confirmed strikes across all drone operators. β’ 11,473 confirmed strikes β +5,800 vs the previous period β’ #1 for UAV intercepts among all manufacturers β’ 44% of all Molniya β taken down by our drones Molniya kills tripled month-over-month β’ #1 in e-points across all strike categories β’ #1 for verified daytime targets Behind every number β an operator who trusted our drone at the critical moment. That trust is what drives our engineering, our production, and every iteration we ship. This is what Ukrainian engineering looks like at war. - Baby cloud tututu We are launching serial production of a new strike UAV in the General Cherry product line! Baby cloud is a kamikaze fixed-wing UAV that is inexpensive to manufacture, effective in deployment, and designed for mass use. Strike range β 50 km with the ability to carry up to 7 kg of warhead! Baby cloud destroys the enemy, their positions, logistics, warehouses, and command posts. And most importantly β it overloads enemy air defenses, creating unbearable conditions for the enemy on the battlefield! Our new UAV is the answer to the enemy's constant attacks with "Molniya" drones. Today, General Cherry products are the sword and shield of the Defense Forces. We have the best and most extensive expertise in shooting down enemy "Molniyas" β every month we destroy more than 5,000 drones of this type alone. Drawing on this experience, we have managed to create a product that will be very difficult for our enemy to intercept. We are the best at interceptions, and now we are ready to terrorize the enemy deep in the "grey" zone. The product has already passed tests in combat conditions. But for rapid results, we are providing the first 150 Baby clouds to the best units at the company's expense! We look forward to feedback, we keep improving, and we destroy the enemy even more.
