Ukraine now intercepts just over half of Russia's new jet-powered drones. This is a major drop from the more than 90% success rate against older Shahed drones.
The new drone, called the Geran-5, flies at speeds up to 425 km/h. Ukrainian interceptor drones have often failed to catch it since January.
Russia is building these jet drones by the thousands.
