General Cherry is a Ukrainian drone manufacturer whose AIR, AIR Pro, AIR Speed, and Bullet systems are designed to intercept reconnaissance drones, loitering munitions, and selected strike UAVs.

Reported battlefield figures have credited the company’s interceptors with large numbers of engagements, including against Molniya-type and Shahed-like drones, while highlighting differences in speed, endurance, nighttime performance, and target suitability. The systems are also discussed as a lower-cost complement or alternative to fighter-launched missiles, although the available performance figures are largely company- or media-reported rather than independently validated.
