Ukraine claims that its interception rate against Russian Manak-4 powered UAVs is steadily improving, averaging nearly 60% over the past three months and reaching up to 80% during some strikes. F-16s, Mirages and MiG-29s play a major role. Kiev is also expanding cheaper short-range defenses, including Gephardt, Skynex, Skyranger, Tarhawk Paladin, interceptor drones and mobile fire groups.
