What Ukraine reports

automatic summary Suspilne and Ukrainska Pravda quote Air Force spokesperson Yurii Ihnat: robotic turrets with machine vision, installed among other places on bridges, have already shot down jet-powered drones, including the Geran-5. According to Ihnat, the range of such systems remains relatively small.

“«Є вже збиття навіть реактивних БпЛА, навіть "Герань-5" з тих самих турелей», — сказав речник Повітряних сил.”
