What are interceptor drones?

Interceptor drones are designed to detect, track, and neutralise enemy drones or missiles. Ukraine needs faster models to combat Russia's new jet-powered drones, which can reach speeds of 600 km/h. Effective interceptors are vital for protecting cities and infrastructure, especially as aerial attacks intensify.
