Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Kyiv’s air-defence units knocked out “dozens” of Russian-launched Shahed drones during a large-scale strike in the early hours of 4 July. He credited newly deployed Ukrainian-made interceptor drones for the results and described the attack as part of a barrage that included more than 500 drones and missiles. Zelensky announced plans to sharply increase production of the interceptor systems and to accelerate training for drone operators, calling the effort a clear priority for protecting Ukrainian cities. The commander of the Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Forces, known by the call-sign “Madyar,” added that intelligence assessments show Russia could raise its use of Shahed drones to as many as 1,000 a day, underscoring the need for expanded defences.
