Background
Since announcing its entry into the defense equipment market in March 2026, Terra Drone has been building its defense business foundation by leveraging its expertise in drone technology and flight operation management.
Amazing Drones is a Ukrainian company that has independently developed and tested interception drones designed to counter long-range UAVs such as the Shahed. The company focuses on product development that emphasizes responsiveness and cost-efficiency, tailored to the demanding operational conditions in Ukraine.
As part of its defense business strategy, Terra Drone entered into a capital and business alliance agreement with Amazing Drones, making a strategic investment and collaborating on the practicality and market viability assessment of "Terra A1," as well as discussions on future business deployment. In April 2026, the companies successfully intercepted a Shahed-class drone using "Terra A1," and are continuing to verify its effectiveness in real-world operational environments.
Terra Drone has determined that, in the counter-drone defense sector, rapid product improvement cycles aligned with local operational conditions and strong global market deployment capabilities are critical to future competitiveness. To strengthen its partnership beyond mere capital participation, Terra Drone has decided to consolidate Amazing Drones as a subsidiary and advance its defense business as a unified group.
Features of "Terra A1"
"Terra A1" is an interception drone gaining attention as a new defense solution to replace expensive anti-aircraft missiles, offering advantages in low cost, mass producibility, and rapid response. It can cover a range of 32 km at speeds up to 300 km/h, exceeding the typical 200 km/h speed of Shahed drones. Utilizing electric propulsion for high stealth (low noise and low thermal signature), it achieves a 15-minute flight time, enabling a single unit to complete the entire mission—from airspace surveillance to target detection and neutralization.
Subsidiary Consolidation Details
Terra Drone has transferred the equity stake in Amazing Drones previously held by Terra Inspectioneering to Terra Defense Europe, its Estonian subsidiary and European hub, as announced today. As a result, the Estonian subsidiary now holds 50% of Amazing Drones, becoming its largest shareholder.
Furthermore, Terra Drone will appoint a majority of the board members from its group to Amazing Drones, thereby establishing de facto control and consolidating the company under accounting standards.

This consolidation aims to strengthen the foundation of Terra Drone’s defense business and accelerate its global expansion. Going forward, the group will enhance its collaborative structure, combining Terra Drone’s global network with Amazing Drones’ local R&D and business infrastructure to create long-term growth opportunities in the defense sector.
Additionally, this consolidation will accelerate the enhancement of Terra Drone’s defense product portfolio. The company will integrate the short-range interception drone "Terra A1" with the long-range fixed-wing platform "Terra A2" to advance the early realization of its "multi-layered defense" solution, designed to counter diverse aerial threats.
Overview of Initiatives
Through this consolidation, Terra Drone will strengthen the business foundation of "Terra A1" and expand its product portfolio and proposal capabilities in the defense sector.
Integration of Amazing Drones into the Group
With this consolidation, Amazing Drones will become a core member of the Terra Drone Group, enabling more agile decision-making, business development, and preparation of global expansion frameworks in the defense sector.
Support for Local Product Improvement and Business Deployment
In the counter-drone defense field, rapid product improvement cycles tailored to local operational environments are a key factor in product competitiveness. Terra Drone will support Amazing Drones’ ongoing local product improvement efforts by leveraging its global group network, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of its defense operations using "Terra A1."
Future Outlook
Terra Drone aims to contribute to solving security challenges worldwide by combining "Terra A1," designed for short-range defense, with the long-range fixed-wing platform "Terra A2," forming a "multi-layered defense" solution. The company will promote market entry into regions including Europe, the United States, and the Middle East, taking into account local regulations and market conditions.
Moving forward, Terra Drone will continue to leverage its expertise in drone development and operations, flight management systems, and global business deployment to create new opportunities in the defense sector and achieve long-term corporate value enhancement.
