Ukraine's air force has said that Russian jet-powered drones could eventually reach speeds of 800 to 900 kilometers per hour, according to a report from Ukrinform.
The air force noted that such speeds have not yet been recorded in practice, but said the capability could develop over time as Russia advances its drone technology.
Jet-powered drones represent a faster and potentially more difficult-to-intercept alternative to the slower propeller-driven drones that have been widely used during the war.
Ukrainian officials continue to monitor developments in Russian drone capabilities as part of ongoing efforts to track battlefield threats.
