Shaheds become faster, Ukraine failed to prepare for the threat

Shaheds, Iranian kamikaze drones, have become faster, complicating their interception. Ukrainian experts note that new requirements for interception systems were not met in time.

In brief

  • Shaheds now reach speeds of up to 850 km/h.
  • Intercepting faster Shaheds requires system automation.
  • Experts believe that preparation for the threat was insufficient.
