  "summary": "Ukraine's Defense Minister Yevhenii Khmara stated that the country has four potential interceptor systems capable of shooting down jet-powered Shaheds, also referred to as Geran attack drones. According to Euromaidan Press, these drones have been used by Russia in increasing numbers, causing significant damage to civilian infrastructure and casualties.\n\nThe four interceptor systems have undergone field testing, and Ukraine aims to bring them to the required level and scale production to thousands of units. Khmara mentioned that the search for countermeasures against jet-powered drones continues.\n\nRussia's use of Geran drones has increased, with over 2,500 used in August, up from about 1,500 in July, according to Ukrainian defense technology adviser Serhii “Flash” Beskrestnov, as reported by Euromaidan Press.",
