Original: Ukraine’s jet-drone kill rate just hit 55%. Russia’s answer: $12 billion to make more of them
Ukraine's jet-powered attack drones are now scoring a 55% kill rate against Russian targets, a sharp jump in effectiveness for the rapidly evolving weapon class. In response, Russia has committed roughly $12 billion to mass-produce its own jet drones, signalling an escalation of the drone race that is becoming a central factor in the war's trajectory.
Why now: Both sides' rapid scaling of jet-drone production and effectiveness is reshaping the battlefield, making the figures newsworthy.
