Ukraine’s defence minister drops a polished video on June 8th hyping Ukrainian AI interceptors already active in #Kharkov. One clean shoot-down on camera, the usual startup numbers about cost per shot, autonomous targeting, scaling from prototype to combat use in under a year. Presented like it’s already part of the air defense network doing real work. Come the night of the 8th into the 9th, Geran drones come through anyway. Command facilities, infrastructure, depot areas take hits.
