INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

Russia is rapidly replacing its slow Shahed drones with much faster jet-powered versions that can reach 350–600 km/h and, in some cases, use machine vision to track moving targets. They are harder to intercept and have already reduced Ukraine’s previously very high shoot-down rates. The trade-off is that they cost more, have shorter range, and are less maneuverable. Ukraine is now developing faster, autonomous and jet-powered interceptor drones to counter them. Source: BBC
