🚀 Russia is increasingly using jet drones that resemble cruise missiles in speed and design. This creates serious problems for Ukraine's air defense: traditional interception means are becoming less effective, and using expensive missiles against cheap drones is economically unviable. Ukraine is developing new interceptor drones, including the TAF Kolibri-10, to counter this threat. #Ukraine #AirDefense #Drones #War
