Ukraine scrambles as Russia’s faster jet-powered drones challenge existing air defences
- Russia sharply increased its use of fast jet-powered drones, launching about 2,850 in August alone.
- Ukraine is finding these drones hard to stop because many of its interceptor drones are still not reliable enough.
- These drones can fly at 240 to 500 km/h, making them much harder to chase down and destroy.
- Ukraine is now working on cheaper missiles, AI-based defence systems and faster drones to fight back.
