Zelensky: Overall Drone Interception Rate Amounts To 70%, For Jet-Powered Drones Currently Only 57%
"The overall drone shoot-down rate as of today is 70% – this includes both regular and jet-powered shaheds. But for jet-powered shaheds, unfortunately, the rate is much lower than it needs to be – 57% for now. New interceptors are being actively tested," Zelensky said.
According to him, some combat units are already using them, but certain details still need to be refined to achieve sufficient effectiveness and scale.
