A Telegram channel shared what it claims is the first photo and video of the 'Bars' interceptor drone, developed from a kamikaze drone, reportedly used by soldiers of the 1021st Anti-Aircraft Missile Artillery Brigade. The Ukrainian Minister of Defense previously stated that five 'Bars' drones destroyed five aerial targets, achieving 100% effectiveness.

President Zelensky stated during a joint press conference with German Chancellor Scholz in Kyiv that 'Bars' drones have shown the highest percentage of positive results among interceptor drones, with other types also improving.
