🇺🇦 🇷🇺 ⚡️ — Deputy Commander of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces stated that Ukrainian developers are trying to solve the issue of creating jet-powered interceptor drones, but this will not happen before the end of December. He also noted that the test interceptors had a maximum speed of up to 700 km/h, in order to intercept jet-powered "Gerans," but the Russians may soon increase the speed of their strike drones to 800–900 km/h, which will be an even bigger problem.
