Russian drones hit Ukrainian factories, warehouses, and power sites so relentlessly that the state cannot shield every one. So the Defense Ministry is letting the businesses defend themselves.
The program has grown fast: 24 companies in April, 81 by mid-September, nearly 100 now. About 50 air-defense groups have formed. They answer to Air Force commands, which set each group's targets and sector, and crews from six enterprises are already carrying out combat missions.
As of 14 October, the groups had downed more than 60 aerial targets, mostly Russian drones, with interceptor drones and automated turrets carrying heavy machine guns.
It means more of the sky over Ukraine's rear is covered without pulling air defense away from the front.
