Ukraine's Bars Missile-Drone Turned Air-Defence Weapon, Mass Production Underway
Original: Bars Missile-Drone Struck Moscow First, Now Adapted to Shoot Down Jet Shaheds at 2,000 Units Per Month
The Bars interceptor, a missile-drone that struck Moscow early in its use, has been retooled as an air-defence weapon designed to shoot down Iranian-style jet-powered Shahed drones attacking Ukraine. Reports say production has been scaled to around 2,000 units per month, marking a shift from deep-strike use to counter-drone defence. The move reflects Ukraine's growing reliance on cheap interceptor drones as a complement to scarce air-defence missiles.
Why now: The scale-up addresses Ukraine's urgent need to counter escalating Russian jet-Shahed drone attacks.
