When Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said at the end of last month that Ukraine needed $ 6 billion to finance intercepting drones production, setting a thousand a day, he had his reasons.
The use of these devices resolved the battlefield.
In the last two months, only a Ukrainian institution that provides airlines states that its devices have overthrown about 1,500 of the devices sent by Russia to recognize the battlefield or bombard vilas e cities.
Interceptors have the potential to be a cheap and abundant alternative to the use of western or Soviet manufacturing air defense missiles. Projectiles are exhausted by the disability or reluctance of the.
Ukrainian defense forces have begun to use devices to blow enemy drones, estimating that the measure could cost a fifth of doing so with a missile.
Like first-person vision drones who now dominate the battlefield, interceptors are piloted by an operator on the ground through the video transmission of a coupled camera.
Most of these devices are provided by military organizations that collect funds for weapons and equipment through civil donations.
Taras Tymochko, from the largest of these organizations, Come Back Alive, said it currently provides interceptors for 90 units.
Since the beginning of the project, a year ago, the organization says that more than 3,000 drones have been slaughtered with equipment supplied by it, much of the volume of the last two months.
However, these interceptors are still no match for approaching missiles or jet -powered attack drones Moscow began to use.
