Ukrainian Marines from the 38th Separate Marine Brigade destroyed two Russian Shahed drones with a single interceptor UAV on the Donetsk direction, according to footage published online by the Come Back Alive Foundation on November 10.

The foundation reported that the Ukrainian interceptor caught up with a group of Russian drones flying at a short distance from one another.

“Two for the price of one—the Marines shot down two Shaheds with one interceptor!” Come Back Alive wrote in a Facebook post accompanying the footage.

The foundation noted that it had not previously seen Ukrainian forces achieve two Shahed kills with one interceptor drone.

Ukraine’s interceptor drones are increasingly being used against faster Russian aerial threats. Earlier in November, Ukrainian units reported intercepting new BM-35 and BM-70 Shahed-type drones, including jet-powered variants that can reportedly exceed 350 kilometers per hour.
