A military expert commented on the emergence of new high-speed drones in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In Russia, the features of the new high-speed drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) have been revealed. Military expert Yuri Knutov, in an interview with Paragraph, said that these devices could be made on the basis of the domestic Geranium-4.
The analyst noted that there is still no complete and specific information about the new type of Ukrainian drones. “I think they appeared on the basis of our Geranium-4. Ukraine manages to intercept a certain number of such devices, usually with the help of fighter jets. They studied the design, looked at what kind of engine it was, and, naturally, tried to purchase a similar one in some third country,” explained Knutov.
He pointed out that the new drones of the Ukrainian Armed Forces could become a problem for the Russian military. At the same time, the expert emphasized that domestic specialists are developing modern systems and interceptor drones capable of reaching speeds of up to 1000 kilometers per hour.
Knutov admitted that for now Ukrainian troops will use these drones exclusively on the line of combat contact or to attack targets near the front line.

Polish Minister of National Defense Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysh announced his intention to strengthen support for the Border Guard on the border with Ukraine with engineering and operational troops.

In Sevastopol, air defense forces and the military repelled an air attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, shooting down three air targets in the North Side area. According to preliminary data, there were no casualties.

The Ukrainian armed forces attempted to strike an energy facility in one of the Russian regions at night. This was announced by Kremlin official representative Dmitry Peskov.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces' exercises to counter Russian jet drones ended unsuccessfully due to difficulties in controlling the devices, whose speed exceeded 400 km/h.

Military expert Alexey Leonkov said that in order to identify new jet drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with speeds of up to 400 km/h, it is necessary to wait for their debris. Earlier, the commander of the Pyatnashka international brigade, Akhra Avidzba, reported on the use of such drones.

The Ukrainian Stugna-P anti-tank missile system has been converted into an air defense system to combat drones, and it is planned to use a new RK-2PZ laser-guided anti-aircraft missile.
