Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Friday that Ukrainian companies had completed combat trials of interceptor drones designed to counter high-speed Russian Shahed drones, speaking to reporters during the first Carpathian Eight regional summit in Bukovel, though he confirmed only two of approximately 200 contacted companies had successfully completed trials, with just ten actively working on fast interceptor technology.
