Ukraine Develops New Interceptor Drones to Stop Russia's High-Speed Geran Attacks

Ukraine is rapidly developing a new generation of interceptor drones and electronic warfare systems as Russia increases the use of faster jet-powered Geran unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), according to Western reports. Military analysts say the growing pace and sophistication of Russian drone attacks are placing mounting pressure on Ukraine's air defense network. New JetKiller Drone Targets Faster Threats One of Ukraine's latest developments is the P1-SUN JetKiller, unveiled by Ukrainian manufacturer Skyfall at the Farnborough International Airshow on July 20. The interceptor is an upgraded version of the original P1-SUN drone, which entered service late last year to counter propeller-driven Geran UAVs. Capable of reaching speeds of up to 370 km/h (230 mph), the JetKiller was designed to respond to the growing threat posed by Russia's new jet-powered Geran variants. The increased speed reflects changing battlefield conditions, where attacks increasingly target infrastructure beyond major cities and military installations.
