Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy writes on X that the Ukrainian security service has already deployed the drone and shares clips that allegedly show the new weapon in use.

The Russian jet-powered drones, which can reach speeds of 500 kilometers per hour, have posed major problems for Ukraine's defences.

According to Reuters, Russia has increased production of the jet-powered drones sixfold this summer.

Several Ukrainian companies have projects aimed at developing cost-effective defence systems to counter the threat.
