Russia's shift to jet-powered Geran drones, capable of reaching speeds of 600 km/h, is posing a significant challenge to Ukraine's air defenses. These drones, which fly roughly twice as fast as their predecessors, have become Russia's primary weapon for targeting Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure. In October, Russia launched over 4,000 of these drones against Ukraine, compared to about 350 in June. While Ukraine has been able to intercept about two-thirds of these drones, it is still struggling to develop effective countermeasures. The war is increasingly hinging on how quickly both sides can adapt to new technologies.
