Ukrainian developers have unveiled the Bullet, a jet powered interceptor drone designed to take down Shaheds, helicopters, and other low-speed aerial threats. It can hit speeds up to 450 km/h, fast enough to outrun a Shahed drone.

The line between drone and missile is getting blurred.

Looking forward to small reusable jet drones with machine guns, should help the economics. Drones dogfighting can't be far off.

@notsoloud @noelreports There already exist recon drones with rear/top facing cameras to automatically detect interceptor drones and initiate avoidance maneuvers.

Lack of such system was Ukrainians' main gripe with the otherwise excellent WB FlyEye recon drone. Hopefully it's in the works.
