    It’s not unfortunately. It’s the new iteration of the Shahed drone from Iran. It’s got a jet engine now and where Ukraine was taking out ~95% of the previous version, the number for the new drone has gone down to ~60%. To make things worse these are way faster, so people don’t have the time to run away anymore before it hits, unlike with the previous slow moving drone with a lawn mower engine you could hear coming from far away.
