The WSJ pointed to Ukraine's inability to resist Russian jet drones

The appearance of Russian jet drones has taken Ukraine by surprise, and the country lacks the means to protect itself from them. This was reported on October 16 by the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal (WSJ).

"Now Ukraine also lacks protection against jet drones capable of flying faster and higher than previous models. The appearance of such drones took Ukraine by surprise," the newspaper notes.

According to the newspaper, one of the main problems remains the lack of engines for interceptor drones. Industry representatives estimate that Ukraine may need to produce more than 1,000 of these devices per week to counter the growing number of Russian jet drones.
