Kyiv has allocated $6.2 million (260 million hryvnias) to develop and deploy a drone interceptor program aimed at defending the capital from increasing Russian drone attacks. The initiative, known as the 'Clear Sky' project, includes the deployment of interceptor drones which have reportedly intercepted nearly 550 Russian drones over Kyiv Oblast during several months of testing. In addition to high-tech solutions, Ukrainian forces are employing low-tech measures such as installing fishing netting along roads, particularly in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk region, to protect against Russian fiber optic drones that are difficult to jam. These nets have been donated by fishermen from partner countries like the Netherlands. The drone and missile assaults by Russia have intensified over the past two months, causing widespread disruption and fear among Kyiv’s 3.7 million residents, many of whom seek shelter in subway stations at night. The attacks have also extended the operational range of drones from 5km to 15km from the front lines, increasing the threat to civilian and agricultural areas. Ukrainian officials continue to emphasize the need for enhanced defensive weaponry to counter these ongoing threats.
