Ukraine's latest invention to stop Russian Shahed drones

Video Description

As winter approaches and Russian strikes on Ukraine’s energy system intensify, a small unit from the 3rd Army Corps spends sleepless nights hunting long-range Shahed drones on the front line in Kharkiv Oblast — before they reach Ukrainian cities. The Kyiv Independent’s Kollen Post and Nick Allard embedded with the team to document how FPV pilots chase targets at over 250 kilometers per hour, and how the crew identifies, pursues, and destroys incoming threats close to the front. Each intercepted Shahed reduces the risk to civilians and critical infrastructure, but a shortage of trained operators leaves Ukraine vulnerable.
