Ukraine has introduced a new drone named 'Sting' designed to intercept Russia's Iranian-made Shahed-136 attack drones. According to reports from The Telegraph, the 'Sting' drone, developed by the Wild Hornets group, will be able to fly faster than 100 mph and at altitudes nearing 10,000 feet. The drone will be controlled through VR goggles, similar to a first-person view (FPV) drone, and is the first of its kind specifically developed to target Shaheds, earning it the nickname 'Shahed-hunter'.
