Ukraine racing to develop new interceptors as Russian drones and missiles ravage the country

Ukraine is struggling to counter a surge in Russian jet-powered drone attacks, which have intensified in recent months and targeted critical infrastructure such as Kyiv, warehouses, gas stations, and factories. These advanced drones, including the Geran-4 and Geran-5 models, are significantly faster than earlier versions and pose a greater challenge to Ukrainian air defenses. Ukrainian officials report that nearly 1,500 drones were launched in the last four days, with over half being jet-powered. The increased frequency of attacks, some launched directly from Russian production lines, has forced Ukraine to reconsider its defensive strategies. Officials warn that these strikes aim to disrupt economic activity and civilian morale while expanding the scope of the conflict beyond traditional military targets. As schools prepare to reopen, authorities are urging families to educate children on safety procedures during air raids.
