The Ukrainian military admits that it cannot catch up with and intercept the advanced jet drones of the Russian Federation, the Associated Press reports.

An adviser to the Ukrainian Defense Minister admitted that the country is lagging behind Russia in the “drone race” and has failed to create an interceptor to combat jet drones.

MOSCOW, October 1 - RIA Novosti. The Ukrainian military admits that it cannot catch up with and intercept the advanced jet drones of the Russian Federation, the Associated Press reports.

As the agency notes, Russian jet drones move so quickly that Ukrainian air defense crews have only a few moments left to intercept them. This time is often not enough, the Associated Press admits.

“They move so fast that we don’t have time to reliably capture the target... It’s like chasing a pig in the forest,” the agency quotes the commander of the air defense forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Vladimir Serdyuk, as saying.
