- Russia is 'betting primarily' on jet-powered Shahed drones, pivoting from older models: Ukraine's navy
Ukraine's navy reports Russia is increasingly using jet-powered Shahed drones, such as Geran-3 and Geran-4, while reducing reliance on older models. These faster drones challenge Ukraine's interceptor capabilities, though some manufacturers claim improved speeds for their defense systems. Ukraine also faces significant hurdles in countering Russian ballistic missiles due to a lack of advanced interceptors.
- A Ukrainian arms maker says it's got a new high-speed interceptor built to hunt Russia's jet-powered Shaheds
Ukrainian defense firm SkyFall has developed the P1-Sun JetKiller, an interceptor drone capable of reaching 230 mph to counter Russia's jet-powered Shaheds. The drone uses AI-based guidance and is entering mass production with a target of 50,000 units per month.
- A top Ukrainian interceptor drone maker learned that faster isn't always better when hunting Russian Shaheds
Wild Hornets, a Ukrainian company, developed the Sting interceptor drone to counter Russian Shahed-type attack drones. Engineers initially prioritized speed but later reduced it to increase loitering time, enhancing combat reliability and mission readiness.
