Details: "We are primarily focusing on interceptor drones as our flagship product," said General Cherry co-founder Yaroslav Hryshyn.

The company also stated that the agreement will allow Ukrainian experience to be combined with American technological expertise, enabling the joint development of production facilities that will manufacture advanced defensive and strike capabilities.

Development will be carried out by the General Cherry team at Wilcox Industries' production facility in Newington, New Hampshire.

According to the company, the project is now entering the approval phase. Before the joint venture is formally registered, the parties must obtain support from the president and relevant institutions.

The company clarified to Oboronka that, prior to establishing the joint venture, they are operating fully with all approvals and endorsements from the Ukrainian president and government, meaning the entire process has been coordinated at the highest level.

Wilcox Industries founder and CEO James Teetzel said the company is proud to partner with General Cherry and expects that combining their resources will benefit the United States.

Wilcox Industries develops and manufactures high-tech equipment for military and security needs. It has been operating since 1982 and is based in New Hampshire.

General Cherry (General Cherry Corporation USA) has 33 codified products in its portfolio. The company recently reported that its interceptor drone, General Cherry AIR, had shot down a rare Russian AI-powered kamikaze drone.

Background: Earlier, it was reported that fighters from the 25th Separate Airborne Sicheslav Brigade shot down 43 Russian Mavic drones over three days using General Cherry AIR interceptor drones.
