"The death of Top Gun" — Ukraine becomes the first to scale remotely operated interceptors that allow operators to score aerial kills from "thousands of kilometers" away while staying in bunkers as the era of pilotless dogfighting and zero crew casualties takes to the sky

Ukraine has become the first country to scale remotely operated interceptor drones capable of destroying aerial targets over vast distances. Operators can now guide interceptor drones from secure bunkers hundreds or thousands of kilometers away, allowing aerial targets to be destroyed without pilots or launch crews exposed to direct danger. This capability has been confirmed to work in combat conditions, with interceptions taking place across long distances.
