"Shahed catchers" have arrived in Ukraine to protect energy facilities from Russian drones, according to the Head of the Ministry of Digital Transformation Mykhaylo Fedorov.

"It's all thanks to a fundraiser organized by Oleh Horokhovsky's monobank, Ihor Lachenkov, and United24. So far, we have purchased 6 systems to counter enemy drones. These are state-of-the-art defence technologies that protect US strategic facilities. A set of radars and signal jammers helps to detect and block enemy UAVs and launch its own drones. Fortem DroneHunter F700 is an autonomous drone with radar control and artificial intelligence. It flies at speeds of over 100 km/h, intercepts and lands enemy drones," said Fedorov.

He noted that the video shows the training of operators at the test site.
