Ukraine is rapidly deploying inexpensive interceptor drones to counter Russia’s sophisticated aerial attacks on its urban centres and energy infrastructure. These homegrown systems intercept high-altitude suicide drones at a fraction of conventional missile costs, revolutionising modern air defence strategies.
Field technicians swiftly assemble equipment, attaching antennas and sensors to light stands and unpacking monitors and controls from protective cases as they prepare these game-changing weapons for immediate deployment.
The Sting with its thermos-like appearance exemplifies Ukraine’s innovative interceptor fleet. According to a unit commander, these systems neutralise Russia’s evolving suicide drones, which now operate faster and at higher altitudes.
“Every destroyed target is something that did not hit our homes, our families, our power plants,” said the officer, known only by the call sign “Loi” in line with Ukrainian military protocol. “The enemy does not sleep, and neither do we.”
