Ukraine’s new weapon to control the skies

If no ceasefire is on the horizon after the Alaska summit, a new form of warfare could break out in the skies above Ukraine, with drone fighters trying to shoot down the Russian drones that are bombarding cities. In an attempt to wrest back control of the skies after Moscow increased its kamikaze drone production, Kyiv is launching drones to be used in dogfights. This includes the Besomar 3210, which can carry up to four 12-gauge shotgun barrels using an onboard computer to close in and blast Russian drones out of the sky. Military experts have told The National that with Russia developing countermeasures for their UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicle) to fight back, “air-to-air combat between drones” will develop.
