Ukraine has developed four interceptor designs aimed at countering the jet-powered Shaheds, according to Defense Minister Yevhen Khmara. The primary objective now is to scale up the production of these interceptors. The search for an effective countermeasure against these drones is ongoing, and four potential solutions have already undergone field testing.
Khmara emphasized the need to enhance these solutions to meet the required standards and increase production to thousands of units. The escalating threat of jet-powered Shaheds has been highlighted by unofficial presidential adviser Serhii Flash Beskrestnov, who reported that Russia is launching these drones almost straight from the factory, with numbers increasing significantly in recent months.
In July, Russia launched 1,500 jet-powered Shaheds at Ukraine, and in August, the count rose to 2,500.
