Ukraine’s General Cherry plans C-UAS US interceptor assembly with Wilcox

In a Linkedin post, Ukrainian FPV drone company General Cherry has announced it plans to set up a production line in the USA with partner Wilcox Industries.

“It will produce FPV and interceptor drones, proven in real combat. Development will be led by General Cherry team. Production will be based at Wilcox’s facility in New Hampshire.”

The plans will need to be approved Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy

According to an article in the Kyiv Independent news portal:

“General Cherry makes the Bullet interceptor drone as well as a massive number of FPVs. The company also participated in the “Gauntlet” contest to sell drones to the Pentagon as part of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Drone Dominance Program. The deal resembles a series of “Build With Ukraine” agreements that put Ukrainian weapons producers into European factories. The Ukrainian government has promoted a network of export offices in cities such as Copenhagen and Berlin.”
