Jet drones are the current headache for Ukrainians

SAPO Notícias4 September 2026 at 22:12

The Russians have started attacking Kiev every day massively with jet drones, which fly faster and at higher altitudes than previous drones. This change in attack strategy represents a new challenge for Ukrainian air defenses. The devices used by the Russians can operate under conditions that make interception more difficult with conventional systems available. To counter these attacks, Ukrainians have been using Patriot missiles, which are scarce and expensive. This situation creates additional pressure on Ukraine's defense resources, which needs to find more economical and efficient solutions to face these daily attacks.
