Russian Molniya strike drones now fitted with systems to evade Ukrainian interceptors

Published 11 August 2026 · updated 10 October 2026

A Russian technical channel, citing footage filmed by a Ukrainian interceptor drone, reports that Russia’s Molniya fixed-wing strike drones are now being fitted with systems to evade interceptor drones. The post is brief and does not describe the mechanism; it is a Russian claim based on second-hand footage. If accurate, it shows Russia adapting its cheap strike drones to Ukraine’s growing use of interceptors.
