Description
Russia is preparing to unleash a new wave of high-speed drone attacks on Ukraine. Satellite images reveal a massive new launch facility built in just six weeks, potentially capable of launching more than 100 jet-powered drones a day. With the weapons flying at speeds of up to 600 kilometres per hour, Ukraine's existing interceptors are struggling to keep up. Military analyst Sam Bendett joins us to discuss Russia's changing drone warfare strategy and the growing threat to NATO. #dwnews For more news go to: http://www.dw.com/en/ Follow DW on social media: ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dwnews ►TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dwnews ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deutschewellenews/ ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/dwnews ►Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/DWNews/ Für Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https://www.youtube.com/dwdeutsch Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1
