Russia has started using a new kind of drone in its war against Ukraine. These drones are special because they are powered by jet engines. This makes them much faster than the older, slower drones we have seen before.

These new weapons are causing big problems for Ukraine. They can fly deep into the country and carry a heavier load, which means they can cause more damage. They are also harder to shoot down.

Because these drones are so fast and dangerous, they are creating a lot of fear for the people living in Ukraine. Cities like Kyiv have had to deal with hours of air raid warnings while these drones fly overhead.

People on the ground are suffering. Reports say that dozens of people have been killed by these new attacks. It is becoming a major challenge for the Ukrainian military.

Right now, Ukraine is rushing to build new ways to stop them. They are trying to create better "interceptors"—which is just a fancy word for weapons designed to catch or destroy the drones before they reach their targets.

While Ukraine is also working on its own drones to hit targets inside Russia, the arrival of these Russian jet drones has changed the fight. The war is becoming even more dangerous, and both sides are racing to find better technology to get the upper hand.
