Russia investing heavily in jet-powered drone production, official says
Original: Russia spending huge sums on production of jet-powered drones – military spox
A military spokesperson says Russia is spending huge sums on the production of jet-powered drones, a faster class of unmanned aircraft that is harder to intercept than conventional propeller-driven models. The claim points to a shift in Russia's drone capabilities amid the ongoing war in Ukraine, and attention is focused on what this could mean for air defence needs.
Why now: Concern over escalation and the threat faster drones pose to Ukrainian air defences is driving attention.
