Originally Published 5 months ago — by Business Insider
Ukraine reports encountering Russia's new jet-propelled Shahed drones, potentially capable of flying up to 500 mph, which could significantly challenge Ukraine's air defenses if used extensively. These drones, modeled after Iran's Shahed-238, pose a threat due to their high speed, making them difficult to intercept with current defenses, and mark a new escalation in the drone warfare in Ukraine.
