Vyriy Industries

Vyriy Industries is a Ukrainian military-technology manufacturer focused on FPV strike drones, fiber-optic drones, fixed-wing unmanned aircraft, signal repeaters, ground stations, and related autonomy and initiation subsystems. The company describes a heavily localized production model, while recent Ukrainian reporting identifies it as one of the country's largest wartime drone producers.

Vyriy Industries grew around inexpensive, rapidly iterated unmanned systems for Ukrainian military users. Its public product line includes the VYRIY OPTO and VYRIY FPV drone families, the Blyskavka fixed-wing strike UAV, MARA airborne repeaters, TERRA wired relays, the VYRIY 19 ground station, and the BAYBAK protected control unit.

The company's official site emphasizes in-house R&D, direct feedback from frontline units, and Ukrainian component localization. Vyriy says more than 80 percent of components in its products are made in Ukraine, including frames, motors, propellers, flight controllers, and electronic speed controllers.

Independent Ukrainian reporting in 2026 described Vyriy as a major defense-tech producer with more than 1,000 workers making fixed-wing, fiber-optic, and kamikaze drones as well as relay equipment. Vyriy also publicly presented the ZIRKA counter-UAV interceptor with NOCTIS, identifying itself as investor and production-scaling partner for that system.
