Direct proof of use
The direct conflict-use evidence for PIRANHA SPR is manufacturer-level rather than incident-level. Piranha Tech's 2025 catalog states that Piranha Tech equipment is actively used by various units of Ukraine's Defense Forces in the Russo-Ukrainian War, and the same catalog includes SPR in the company's counter-UAV product line.
The public record does not identify a specific SPR unit, protected site, or engagement. The supported claim is therefore that SPR belongs to a Ukrainian counter-UAV electronic-warfare line whose manufacturer says its equipment is in active Ukrainian Defense Forces use during the war.

Timeline
Piranha Tech says it relocated production to Drohobych in April 2022 after the full-scale Russian invasion and began developing new systems for the needs of Ukraine's Defense Forces. In 2025, its catalog listed SPR as a stationary UAV counter system and stated that Piranha Tech equipment was actively used by Ukrainian Defense Forces units in the war.

Narrative
SPR is documented as a stationary counter-UAV jammer rather than a kinetic air-defense weapon. Piranha Tech describes the system as a site-protection solution that uses directional radio interference across selected frequency bands, can work with external target-coordinate or direction inputs, and uses external directional antennas controlled through a protected control case with built-in software.
Within the Russia-Ukraine War context, that places SPR in Ukraine's electronic-warfare and force-protection layer against drones. The catalog and product page support a defensive counter-UAV role, but they do not support claims about confirmed shootdowns, a first battlefield appearance, or the number of SPR systems deployed.
