Ukraine fields low-cost interceptor drones to shoot down Shahed-136s

Ukraine describes a domestically developed class of low-cost interceptor drones (some ~$1,000, ~200 mph) used at scale to defeat Shahed-136 attacks, including variants with AI-assisted guidance and longer-endurance fixed-wing 'loitering' interceptors. The novelty is the mass, layered employment of multiple interceptor architectures as a cheaper alternative to missiles for air defense against one-way attack drones.
