Expensive missile era out? Ukraine sends "long-range intercept drones." Hunt destroys Russian drones in mid-air. 🚀

The Deep today has a very interesting military technology update from the Ukrainian battlefield. 🇺🇦

After dealing with a long swarm of Russian Shahed suicide drones, Ukraine recently launched a new "Interceptor Drone" designed to chase and destroy Shahed drones in mid-air before they fly to their targets. 🚀

Security media data indicate that this drone system can detect and engage targets at a distance of up to 33 kilometers 🎯 (and a new interceptor drone has now been developed that can reach more than 40 to 80 kilometers, with speeds of up to 350 km / h with an automatic target lock system).

The most important highlight of this technology is its "value for money," because it is much cheaper to use interceptor drones than to launch more expensive Surface-to-Air Missiles, so this technology solves the problem of dealing with the huge number of Shahed drones that Russia uses to attack infrastructure efficiently and save on budget. 💰🛡️

This is a reflection of the new era of warfare (Drone-on-Drone Warfare), where drone combat technology is quickly turning the face of today's battlefields.

The Deep People. What do you think about this intercept drone technology? The comments can be discussed. 👇
