Meet the Czech SKYFOX!
Russia’s new jet-powered Shahed drones just dropped Ukraine’s interception rate from 90% to 57% — and a Czech jet trainer called the Skyfox might be the cheapest way to close that gap.
I break down why F-16s can catch these faster drones but can’t afford to be Ukraine’s full-time answer, and how a reconfigured training aircraft with an infrared targeting pod and guided rockets fits perfectly in between. It’s not combat-proven yet, but the economics make a lot of sense.
