Role in Conflicts

Documented Field Use

Piranha Tech says the system protects combat groups during movement from drone-dropped munitions and can be carried in a backpack or installed permanently to defend a specific sector. Independent survey coverage places the broader HAD-5 line among Ukrainian Armed Forces counter-UAS systems documented in 2022-2024.
