0:37Now PlayingA battle is shaping up in the skies over Ukraine and Russia, as the ingenuity of drone engineers on both sides opens up new opportunities and threats far behind the front lines.
This was on full display on Sunday when Ukraine launched a dramatic series of strikes deep in Russian territory, damaging a significant portion of the Kremlin’s strategic bomber fleet. Around the same time, Russia unleashed one of the biggest drone and missile attacks against Kyiv.
The escalation has touched off a new round of innovations: Ukraine is now developing a generation of drones designed to identify and shoot down other unmanned aerial vehicles. The goal is to target Iranian-designed Shahed drones, which have a triangular frame and are mass produced in Russia.
Oleksandr Kamyshyn, an adviser to Ukraine’s minister of strategic industries, said in a recent interview Ukraine is scaling up production of weapons that have had success shooting down the Shahed-style drones around Kyiv and the surrounding region.
The issue has taken on added urgency as Russian barrages grow in ferocity ahead of peace talks this week in Istanbul. In May, Russia demonstrated it can launch hundreds of Shaheds on a regular basis, signaling its growing capacity.
The escalating drone attacks have stretched Ukrainian air defense systems thin and led to a higher number of civilian deaths since US President Donald Trump began pressing for an end to fighting in February with calls to the leaders of Russia and Ukraine.
