About Taifun

The Special Unmanned Systems Unit "Taifun" was established in 2024. The unit is part of the National Guard of Ukraine.

"Taifun" deploys wherever the defense forces need rapid support, operating effectively alongside adjacent units. Our area of operations spans the entire front line, with a focus on the Pokrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharkiv directions.

The unit specializes exclusively in unmanned systems and technological equipment — multirotor drones and fixed-wing UAVs, electronic warfare (EW) and electronic reconnaissance (ER) systems, as well as interceptor drones. We detect and engage targets using the latest — and sometimes experimental — weapons from both foreign and Ukrainian manufacturers.

The core value of "Taifun" is effectiveness. That is why we above all protect the people who deliver it. We train extensively, test rigorously, and work only with the best unmanned systems available.

We are a special operations unit. This means every member is proficient in all roles and performs their work at the highest level.
