Ukraine bets on low cost interceptor drones to blunt Russia Shahed threat

The plan targets 95% of incoming drones

Ukraine is countering Russia’s Shahed drones with its own interceptor drones built for a cost advantage. The approach is to neutralize about 95% of incoming drones while forcing Moscow to keep adapting. As fog, speed, and sensor-driven targeting evolve, both sides race in a high-stakes drone technology cycle to outlast the other’s defenses.
