  "account": "On day 1676 of the Russo-Ukrainian war, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy announced that his country will share its drone-defense expertise with NATO members and other countries facing Russian attacks. This comes as Ukraine's military destroyed a record 76 Russian air-defense systems this month, surpassing the previous high set in July 2023. Analysts suggest that Russia's air defenses cannot protect all strategic sites once Ukraine's ballistic missiles are operational. While Ukraine boasts eight domestic drone manufacturers, their interceptors have yet to prove effective. The Pentagon is now testing these Ukrainian-made interceptors against Russian drones to determine which systems will succeed. Meanwhile, a former Ukrainian defense minister is spearheading the creation of a new \"Army of Robots\" to take on the most dangerous tasks. Ukraine's drone-defense know-how, honed through real combat experience, is now being offered through a NATO pact called the \"Drone Deal.\"",
  "summary": "Meanwhile, the Pentagon has begun testing candidate US drones against Ukrainian-built jamming systems to see which designs can survive real electronic warfare.",
