Ukrainian soldiers from the 93rd Kholodny Yar Brigade shot down a Russian jet-powered Shahed drone using a Stinger missile in the Kramatorsk district. The brigade said soldiers quickly responded to the drone’s sound and launched the American portable missile. The jet modification is considered an extremely difficult target, so gunners celebrated the successful “hunt.” Russia has increased use of jet-powered Shaheds flying over 400-500 km/h; military analysts say they are harder to shoot down and cause more civilian damage.
