Ukraine’s ex-defense minister unveiled a new interceptor built for Russia's fastest drones. He wants AI to help fly it.

Former Ukrainian defense minister Mykhailo Fedorov unveiled a new interceptor drone designed to counter Russia's fastest jet-powered drones. The interceptor drone, currently being tested, has already successfully downed Russia's fastest drone, the Geran-5. Fedorov intends to produce hundreds of these interceptors per month by the end of the year, making them affordable and readily available for Ukraine's military.
The interceptor currently requires human pilots but Fedorov aims to make it fully autonomous using artificial intelligence. The development of this interceptor drone reflects Ukraine's growing focus on AI-enabled autonomous warfare technology.
