Ukraine is deploying hundreds of large caliber robotic turrets to target fast moving Russian aircraft, including drones traveling at 800 km/h. The Air Force confirmed the first shootdown of a Geran-5 jet drone using a Sky Sentinel turret with AI assisted targeting. President Volodymyr Zelensky deployed 12 systems in Kyiv with 8 more planned, though some social media reports allege these defenses may endanger civilians.
