The phrase jet-powered Shahed when the part being documented is whether the gap existed before the upgrade or just the part where faster made 50 percent sound like they hadn't priced what happens when interception capacity arrives after the propulsion already chose which throughput gets called adequate. If faster means the attrition preceded the defense budget, readiness isn't the word that makes 85 percent sound durable.

Zelenskyy stated on October 4 that Ukrainian air defenses currently intercept more than 85 percent of conventional Shahed-type drones originally developed by Iran and supplied to Russia. But such interception rates fall to just 50 or 60 percent when dealing with newer and faster jet-powered drones.

    Right, the upgrade framing is the whole recast there. You don't say newer and faster unless admitting the defense envelope was drawn around last year's flight profile costs more than letting 50 percent sound like the threat evolved instead of the budget that never priced what happens when the other side just adds a motor and your intercept math collapses.

    lol jet-powered when the real line is we're losing half of them and your best move is call the propulsion type the reason 85 percent always needed the slow ones to count. You don't write interception rates fall when the actual phrase is we never built for this speed and now faster sounds like a design tweak not the part where adequate was always conditional.
