Thor Hammer

Thor Hammer overview

Thor Hammer is SkyFall's Ukrainian middle-strike attack drone, publicly detailed in October 2026 in two variants with manufacturer-reported ranges of up to 350 km and 600 km. It is designed for strikes beyond the reach of ordinary frontline FPV quadcopters while remaining smaller and less expensive than many conventional long-range missiles. SkyFall says the aircraft is already being used at the front, although public reporting does not establish deployment quantities or independently verified mission success rates.

Specifications provided by SkyFall to Interfax-Ukraine describe a 3 m-long aircraft with a 3.5 m wingspan, a 40–50 kg warhead, a speed of up to 180 km/h, and a maximum altitude of up to 4,000 m. The company reports a configuration-dependent price of approximately US$25,000–30,000. These figures are manufacturer-provided and should not be treated as a verified performance envelope simultaneously achievable in every configuration. Public reporting has not supplied a complete loaded-weight or endurance data sheet.

SkyFall describes catapult or rocket-assisted launch, daylight and optional thermal imaging, and a layered navigation architecture combining satellite, inertial, and backup positioning. The company says the aircraft follows a planned route and transmits video, with an operator making the final strike decision before computer-vision guidance supports the terminal approach. Secure communications options and electronic-warfare resilience are presented as configurable capabilities. This profile describes their reported purpose without assuming immunity to jamming or proven survivability against every defense.

By October 2026, the program had progressed from public display and announcement to manufacturer-reported frontline use. SkyFall also announced an ambition to reach production capacity of 5,000 aircraft per month by the end of 2026 and said a version exceeding 1,000 km was under development. Those are plans, not evidence that the capacity or longer-range variant has been achieved. Thor Hammer is distinct from the U.S. THOR high-power microwave counter-drone system and its Mjolnir successor, despite the similar names.
