Ukrainian manufacturer General Cherry displayed its 8” and 13” first-person view (FPV) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) at the DroneX 2026 exhibition, held in London from 29-30 September.
Although not on the stand, the company also gave an update on its Sweetheart UAV, saying the device is currently in the process of being coded and once this is completed, the door is open for exports.
Oleksandr Soloshchenko, advisor to the company's CEO, told Janes: “If there is demand and if we get the approval, we will be able to distribute it.”
General Cherry previously said that the Sweetheart, a fixed-wing design intended for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), would be unveiled in the final quarter of 2026, alongside the Baby Cloud, another fixed-wing design intended for strike missions.
Also present on the stand was the company's Bullet interceptor, which can reach speeds of 320 km/h, and is designed to destroy push-propeller driven Geran one-way attack (OWA) UAVs.
