00:00Una rather sleepless night here in the capital with the air defense working non-stop.
00:07Kiev residents woke up by around 3 a.m. local time with at least 10 explosions
00:11as Ukrainian air defense were intercepting the incoming ballistic missiles
00:16on top of the endless drone attacks.
00:18Now Ukraine is currently working on the technology to intercept Russia's new jet-powered drones
00:25and I spoke exclusively to Kirill Budanov,
00:28the head of the office of the president of Ukraine,
00:30who told me the technology is already being implemented.
00:32Moreover, it is being tested at the battlefield
00:34and he said that the challenge now is to be able to scale up the production of these interceptors.
00:40But he is confident that it will be possible to do before the cold comes here,
00:46before the winter in Ukraine.
00:48And he also told Ukraine, he's confirmed,
00:50that the countries who have already signed the drone deals with Ukraine
00:53or who are negotiating those drone deals with Kiev
00:57will have access to these new interceptors capable of stopping Russia's jet-powered drones.
01:03It doesn't mean that it's not about any particular method.
01:07It's about cooperation between countries,
01:10and for such a production, let's say.
01:12So, the Ukrainian new technologies that are now
01:14that are now about the attacks of reactive drones,
01:17also can be entered in drone deals with European countries.
01:20So, who has signed the agreement with us,
01:22has the right to, as they say,
01:25to have further dialogue about the particular production.
01:27Euronews was also given exclusive access to some of the air defense troops working in the Kyiv region
01:35To see what the changing threat means for them
01:37For those people who are indeed in charge of protecting the skies
01:41Now they told us that when a jet-powered drone is incoming
01:44There are about 10 seconds before it can reach Kyiv
01:47And this is more or less the time that they also have to be able and to prepare to shoot
01:51it down
01:52Between 10 to 15 seconds
01:54And of course, this intensity is taking its toll on the cruise as well
01:58Some of these troops I talked to in Kyiv and in the region of the capital
02:04Told me that over the past couple of days or even weeks
02:07They could only do about an hour and an hour and a half of sleep
02:11We also talked to Pavlo Tsugunov, who is aircraft battery commander
02:15And he described the pressure on his cruise
02:19Why these new jet-powered drones are so difficult for some of the existing systems to intercept
02:25And what exactly the troops are doing to do that nevertheless
02:28This is the constant nap
02:31This is the chance of a war
02:33It is the most important thing of the threat
02:41It is the chance of killing the nation
02:47Il altro senso, ovvero i fronti in fronti urbano alcuni suffici, non spiega il successo.
02:56Voi cercano per la cura di l'accio, per la cura di l'accio.
03:02e per il modo che il vizio prende la capítulazione.
