@gme @briankrebs yes, a lot of countries really should being following Ukraine's developments in drone defences more closely. As I understand it, they're using small, fast drones with hardened front edges that they just fly into the shaheds. I believe they're a lot cheaper than shaheds and I think they may even be reusable.
They're going through technological generations quite fast in that war, so things might change, but right now cheap and simple is cutting edge.

@gme @briankrebs Correction: it looks like I was mistaken. I'm sure I have seen a video of a kinetic interceptor, but it looks like most of Ukraine current interceptors are explosive ... so, single use. 😏 They are an order of magnitude cheaper than the shaheds, though.
