Ukraine intercepts Russian Forpost-R drone over Kursk using domestic Chaklun-KM system

Ukrainian forces successfully downed a Russian Forpost-R MALE strike-recon drone at 4,300 meters using a domestically produced Chaklun-KM interceptor. This engagement indicates a shift in the air-denial capabilities of Ukrainian forces, who are increasingly contesting medium-altitude airspace previously dominated by Russian ISR platforms.
