Frustration over Russian jet-powered drones: "Driving us crazy"

Russia’s jet-powered attack drones have complicated the defense of the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, reports *The Guardian*.

According to the Ukrainian commander "Sensei," it is extremely difficult to hit the drones because they can travel at speeds of 600 kilometers per hour and reach altitudes of up to 10 kilometers.

"Often we can hear them, but not see them. It drives us crazy," says Sensei. Recently, remotely controlled weapon turrets have been installed around Kyiv to combat jet-powered drones using AI, reports Ukrainska Pravda.
