Ukraine intercepts only about 60% of Russia's new jet-powered Geran drones
Ukraine is shooting down roughly 60% of Russia's new jet-powered Geran drones, compared with 90–95% against other models, Air Force spokesperson Yuriy Ignat told the Financial Times. The faster, better-armed aircraft bypass Ukrainian air defenses more often than their propeller-driven predecessors, and pilots are increasingly being forced to engage them with aircraft cannons. President Zelensky said countering jet drones is the country's number one issue, with 67 Ukrainian companies working on countermeasures.
