New interceptor aircraft can hunt and kill drones flying at 124 mph

The Allag-E electric interceptor, developed by UAE-based defense company EDGE, is a next-generation ground-to-air counter-drone system designed to hunt and destroy fast-moving drones. Featuring a compact airframe with a 700mm wingspan and weighing approximately 8.5 kg, the Allag-E uses dual electric ducted fans for high maneuverability and speeds exceeding 250 km/h (155 mph). It can engage targets up to 15 km away, flying at speeds of up to 200 km/h (124 mph) and altitudes of 3,000 meters. The interceptor carries a 1.7 kg warhead equipped with a fragmentation cutting disk-type charge and a proximity sensor, enabling it to neutralize drones even in near-miss scenarios with a lethal blast radius over 5 meters and accuracy within 10 meters. This system addresses the increasing threat posed by drones in modern warfare, where unmanned aerial vehicles have become prevalent in conflict zones. The emergence of drone warfare has significantly
