Russia's Turbojet Shahed Attacks Jump Fivefold in July
Russia dramatically increased its use of jet-powered Shahed drones (Geran-3 and Geran-4) in July, rising about fivefold from June and signaling a ramp-up in turbojet drone production that flies higher, faster, and is harder to intercept. Ukrainian officials say jet-powered Shaheds now contribute to a large share of long-range attacks, with reports of hundreds of drones in short periods and expectations of continued August increases, prompting Kyiv to push interceptor development.
