Ukraine’s AI Drone Shoots Down Russian Shahed—95% of Kill Automated

A Ukrainian defense tech company has achieved a major battlefield milestone: an AI-controlled drone shot down a Russian Shahed drone, with the system automating 95% of the kill process. The manufacturer, a participant in the Brave1 defense cluster, moved from prototype to successful combat use in less than a year. The operator reportedly only needed to click once to confirm the strike, marking a leap in autonomous warfare.
