00:00Another rather sleepless night here in the capital with the air defense working non-stop.
00:07Kyiv 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, the 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, Uranus confirmed, that the countries who have already signed the drone deals with Ukraine
00:53will have access to these new interceptors capable of stopping Russia's jet-powered drones.
01:03It doesn't mean it's not about any specific method.
01:07It's about the cooperation between countries and such products.
01:12So, the Ukrainian new technologies, which now surpassed the threat of re-activated drones,
01:17also can be included in the drone deal with European countries?
01:20To, who made these agreements with us, has the right to do,
01:25to do further negotiations about the specific product.
01:28Uranus also gave an exclusive access to some of the air defense troops,
01:32working in the Kyiv region
01:35to see what the changing threat means
01:37for them, for those people
01:38who are indeed in charge of protecting
01:40the skies. Now, they told us that when a jet
01:42powered drone is incoming
01:44there are about 10 seconds before it can reach
01:46Kyiv. And this is more or less the time that
01:48they also have to be able
01:50and to prepare to shoot it down, between
01:5210 to 15 seconds.
01:54And of course, this intensity
01:56is taking its toll on the cruise as well.
01:58Some of these troops I talked to
02:00in Kyiv and in the
02:02region of the capital told me
02:04that over the past couple of days
02:06or even weeks, they could only do
02:08about an hour and an hour and a half
02:10of sleep. We also talked to
02:13Pavlo Tsugunov, who is
02:14aircraft battery commander, and he described
02:16the pressure on his crews
02:18under why these new
02:20jet powered drones are so difficult for some
02:22of the existing systems
02:24to intercept and what exactly the troops
02:26are doing to do that, nevertheless.
02:28The first thing is, this is a constant
02:30pressure. The enemy is constantly
02:33in the pressure of the

02:43é uma política de apagação de paz do nosso país,
02:48porque na fronte, no século, não há agora успехes.
02:56Eles tentam desagirar o nosso povo, para que o nosso povo
03:00não pode continuar a抵ença, e, de acordo, para que o povo
03:04assumiu a capítulação.
