Russian drone attacks have caused power outages affecting over 100,000 Ukrainian homes, targeting energy infrastructure amid ongoing conflict, with Ukraine seeking international pressure and security guarantees to prevent further strikes.
The US has included 10 mobile c-UAS laser-guided rocket systems in its latest military aid package to Ukraine, worth around $2.6 billion, to counter ongoing Russian drone attacks. The c-UAS laser-guided rocket systems will enable Ukraine to fire precision rockets from mobile positions and will form part of a layered defense against drones. The precision-guided rockets can be effective against both air and ground targets, becoming especially valuable when facing wave after wave of drones. The US has previously provided a counter-unmanned aerial system known as the VAMPIRE to Ukraine, which uses small missiles to shoot UAVs out of the sky.
