Zelensky's Staff meeting sets accelerated timeline for interceptor drones against jet-powered Shaheds
President Volodymyr Zelensky held a meeting of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief's Staff focused on accelerating Ukrainian production of high-speed interceptor drones designed to counter Russian jet-powered Shahed-type attack drones. Prototypes of the new weapons have been developed, with work underway to bring them to the required effectiveness, and specific deadlines have been set for involving business in air defense production. Zelensky framed the effort as part of an asymmetric response to Russia's growing output of high-speed attack drones.
