Slovakia’s DefTech has dropped a new image of the Wolf 25 AD, its modular “drone hunter” platform built to take on both aerial threats and ground targets.
The Wolf 25 AD rides on an armored 4×4 chassis powered by a 450-horsepower engine, enough to carry a four-person crew consisting of a driver, commander, technician, and gunner.
It reaches up to 100 kilometers (62 miles) per hour and can operate across 700 kilometers (435 miles) on a single run.
Mobility plays a key role in its design. It features advanced wheel suspension for enhanced handling and an automatic transmission tuned for off-road and rugged environments.
At the core is a turret-mounted 25x137mm automatic cannon, capable of firing various ammo types, from proximity-fused explosive rounds for low-flying drones to armor-piercing bullets that engage dismounted targets.
Adapting to Warzone Threats
In a press release, the company stated that the Wolf 25 AD has completed testing and entered service, positioning it as a direct response to the rise of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) threats.
“The threat of small drones is no longer theoretical or hypothetical — it’s real,” DefTech noted. “From Ukraine to the Middle East, low-cost UAVs are disrupting armored units, radar systems, and supply lines.”
With drones evolving fast, traditional fixed defenses run the risk of becoming ineffective in battle. The unconventional Wolf 25 AD aims to address that, pairing firepower and mobility in a compact, deployable form.
“That’s why Gap-Filler Air Defence systems like the Wolf 25 AD are critical. Mobile, scalable C-UAS platforms must become a baseline capability — not optional add-ons — across modern armed forces,” the company stated.
