According to the daily air force report, Russia targeted Ukraine with 208 drones and 27 missiles overnight. It said according to preliminary data, air defense and electronic warfare took down or intercepted 183 drones and 17 missiles but nine locations recorded hits from 10 missiles and 25 drones.

Russia and Ukraine exchanged drone attacks, with five people dead in the strikes, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was optimistic about military progress.

The Russian Defense Ministry claimed its air defenses intercepted or destroyed a total of 99 drones overnight.

Auterion’s “strike kits” — miniature computers known as Skynode that run the company’s software and include a camera and radio — can transform manually controlled drones into “AI-powered weapons systems” that cannot be jammed and can track a moving target from as far away as 1km, said Meier.
