Zelensky says Ukraine intercepts 70% of drones, fewer jet-powered ones

Original: Zelensky: Overall drone interception rate amounts to 70%, for jet-powered drones currently only 57% President Volodymyr

President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukrainian forces intercept about 70% of incoming drones overall, but the rate falls to 57% for jet-powered drones, which are faster and harder to stop. He noted interceptors are already being deployed against these newer models. The figures highlight the growing challenge Russia's evolving drone arsenal poses to Ukraine's air defences.

Why now: Russia's increasing use of faster jet-powered drones is raising concerns about gaps in Ukraine's air defence.
