Ukraine expands 'drone air defense' with interceptor-drone crews alongside mobile fire groups

The post describes Ukraine scaling a dedicated “drone air defense” structure: trained interceptor-drone crews operating in parallel with mobile fire groups (machine-gun teams) for rear-area air defense. It also contrasts Russian autonomous interceptor “Yolka” with Ukrainian operator-controlled P1-Sun/P1-Sun Long, highlighting speed/altitude/range requirements to catch higher-flying deep-strike UAVs. Novelty is the organizational/tactical shift toward layered rear air defense using specialized interceptor UAV units.
