Ukraine intercepts over half of jet-powered Shahed drones, Zelenskyy says
Original: Ukraine intercepts over half of jet-powered Shahed drones, Zelenskyy says President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said Ukraine
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine is currently intercepting 55% of Russian jet-powered Shahed drones and more than 90% of conventional Shahed models. The figures, given in his evening address, offer a snapshot of Kyiv's air-defence performance against Russia's escalating drone campaign. Interception rates for the faster jet-powered variants are notably lower, highlighting the challenge new drone types pose to Ukrainian defences.
Why now: Russia's intensified drone attacks and the emergence of faster jet-powered Shaheds are putting Ukraine's air defence under scrutiny.
