  • Russian unmanned aircraft can be seen destroying Ukraine's night bomber drones in videos from the war.
  • Ukraine's Vampire drones have caused headaches for Russia's military, but the Russians are now intercepting them.
  • Taking out a drone with another drone is a less expensive solution than some other air-defense options.

Recent footage from the war shows Russia using its own unmanned aerial vehicles to take down Ukraine's night bomber drones.
