00:00.640 --> 00:03.360
A samurai has no goal, only a controller.

00:13.360 --> 00:16.880
There is a lot of action going on. Like we have our drones

00:16.960 --> 00:19.200
in the air, we have several shaheds in the air.

00:26.880 --> 00:30.640
Ukrainian interceptor drones are getting a lot of attention right now.

00:31.140 --> 00:34.860
They're cheap, effective. A new solution against Russian Iranian shaheds.

00:35.020 --> 00:38.260
We went to where this attack has been battle tested. Near the

00:38.760 --> 00:43.140
front. The world is on the edge. This is how headlines described

00:43.640 --> 00:46.700
Iran's retaliation attack. Hundreds of drones, missiles,

00:47.180 --> 00:49.820
regional shock. Now look at this.

00:50.060 --> 00:53.660
3-24-2026. Russia launched nearly

00:54.160 --> 00:57.180
a thousand aerial targets on one country, Ukraine.

00:58.070 --> 01:00.950
Most of them didn't make it. No global panic,

01:01.430 --> 01:04.750
no breaking news headlines. And this is the part of

01:05.250 --> 01:07.670
the reason why. First you need to assemble the drone.

01:46.070 --> 01:49.910
The unit's call sign is Samurai. They say a Samurai

01:50.410 --> 01:51.900
has no goal, only a controller.

01:56.300 --> 01:57.420
Once it's ready.

02:05.580 --> 02:08.860
This team has confirmed hits on several types of Russian drones.

02:09.180 --> 02:12.220
Some of them strike, others scout. Either way,

02:12.720 --> 02:16.380
they're all hard to spot with the naked eye. All deadly, all costly.

02:17.110 --> 02:20.710
War math is simple. Everything costs money. Run out

02:20.870 --> 02:24.070
and you lose. And Samurai is working on that.

02:24.950 --> 02:27.030
We work on nighttime shaheds,

02:28.230 --> 02:32.150
strike drones and daytime targets.

02:34.310 --> 02:36.550
Molnia reconnaissance wings,

02:37.830 --> 02:41.350
Orlans, Zalas supercams.

02:42.880 --> 02:46.560
We use high speed drones. They can

02:47.060 --> 02:47.760
catch these targets.

02:50.080 --> 02:54.160
Before they flew at around 160 kilometers

02:54.660 --> 02:58.160
per hour. Now they use jet

02:58.660 --> 03:01.520
engines and can go up to 300 km h.

03:08.740 --> 03:12.580
The shahed keeps evolving jet engines, radar evading,

03:13.080 --> 03:14.820
coating higher altitudes.

03:17.140 --> 03:20.620
Since 2022 I've

03:21.120 --> 03:24.100
been working on an old fashioned anti aircraft gun.

03:27.460 --> 03:30.820
The hit rate is very low but even then

03:31.380 --> 03:35.360
I managed to shoot down three shaheds

03:35.590 --> 03:38.950
in one night. Back then

03:39.450 --> 03:41.670
they flew lower, slower.

03:42.390 --> 03:46.550
120, 140, maybe 160 kilometers per hour

03:47.910 --> 03:51.669
you could hit them. Now they

03:52.169 --> 03:55.990
climb up to 5km. Nothing can reach them anymore.

03:57.190 --> 04:00.830
Only an interceptor drone can find them up there and destroy

04:01.330 --> 04:04.690
them. Tonight is going to be busy.

04:08.130 --> 04:11.770
It's actually quite unnerving because each head can carry up to

04:12.270 --> 04:15.970
90 kilos of TNT which is a, which can destroy a building.

04:16.470 --> 04:20.050
It can destroy like apartment complex. So it's a huge

04:20.210 --> 04:24.290
actually warhead that is flying just above

04:24.790 --> 04:28.340
us somewhere that we cannot see. We know that they

04:28.840 --> 04:32.180
are somewhere around because our detectors, our raiders

04:32.680 --> 04:33.100
are picking them up.

04:41.020 --> 04:45.100
The guy is hunting them as, as we speak. But it's quite

04:45.600 --> 04:49.020
difficult to do actually. So we'll see how it's going to turn out.

04:51.580 --> 04:55.020
Though the interception rates are above 90%, some still get

04:55.520 --> 04:57.180
through. Even one is too many.

05:01.990 --> 05:05.070
Sounds overlap locating a fast Moving shahed is

05:05.570 --> 05:07.750
hard at night. Even harder.

05:42.640 --> 05:45.760
That's a Marops drone. Been launched from a friendly position nearby.

05:46.080 --> 05:49.800
It's built in California. Now it's here somewhere of the

05:50.300 --> 05:50.640
Kupiansk area.

06:21.330 --> 06:22.850
There was enough.

06:37.730 --> 06:41.530
There is a lot of action going on. Like we have our drones in

06:42.030 --> 06:46.130
the air, we have several Shaheds in the air. And we have other adjacent units

06:46.630 --> 06:50.210
also trying to hunt shaheds just right now. And also we can

06:50.710 --> 06:54.130
hear like this. Mobile fire squads trying to hitch ahead

06:54.450 --> 06:56.850
with firearms from the. From the ground.

07:12.540 --> 07:13.900
Finally, a fireball.

07:15.420 --> 07:17.902
5, 10,

07:18.164 --> 07:21.420
18 seconds before the sound reaches us.

07:22.780 --> 07:25.980
That's around 6 kilometers. It's within our range.

07:26.480 --> 07:29.260
But it's not ours. Another friendly unit. Got it.

07:33.740 --> 07:37.820
This is definitely technology to look for. With our last launch, we missed our

07:38.320 --> 07:41.170
target. But it's great that you can bring the drone back.

07:44.850 --> 07:47.530
As for the samurai team, not today.

07:48.030 --> 07:50.930
Unfortunately, the path to mastery takes time.

07:53.330 --> 07:56.210
We have the tools. We have the people.

07:57.890 --> 08:01.650
Everyone here understands this. Shahed could

08:02.150 --> 08:06.690
hit anywhere. Lviv, Ternople Khmelnytsky,

08:06.930 --> 08:10.570
Vinnytsia it doesn't matter if you take

08:11.070 --> 08:15.010
it down here, you've saved something there. A school,

08:15.810 --> 08:21.490
a kindergarten.
