Ukraine has announced it has successfully used a new jet-propelled drone called the “Palyanytsia” against Russia. “Drone” is something of a colloquial word to describe a diverse range of unmanned aerial systems ranging from one-way attack munitions (like this new jet-powered drone) to futuristic sophisticated platforms like the Collaborative Combat Aircraft being developed for the US Air Force. Meanwhile, Russia is now known to be modifying Yak-52 trainers to shoot down (slower) Ukrainian drones.
