Jet-Powered Drone Blitz: Russia's Four-Day, 1,500-Drone Wave Targets Ukraine
TL;DR Summary
Over four days, Russia fired about 1,500 drones into Ukraine, roughly 800 of them jet-powered Shahed variants (Geran‑4/5) traveling at 200–250 mph, making them harder to intercept and prompting daytime air alerts; a Geran‑4 strike hit a Kyiv-area ammunition depot killing 38, as Kyiv and its allies race to develop faster interceptors to counter the jet-powered threat.
