HUR uses Katran unmanned platforms as interceptor-drone carriers near Kyiv

Ukraine’s HUR unit FERRATA reportedly employed unmanned Katran platforms as carriers for interceptor drones plus radar-recon equipment in a layered air-defense operation over Kyiv, including coordination with F-16 crews. The novelty is the use of an unmanned “mothership”/carrier concept to deploy interceptors and integrate them into broader air-defense architecture.
