A Ukrainian team leader overseeing a mobile air defense unit said the drones fly faster and higher.

He said his unit needs shoulder-launched missiles in addition to machine guns it has been using.

Russia 's drone tactics have changed over the last few months , he said.

Russia is now flying drones at higher altitudes and using modified ones that can fly faster.

The move presents a challenge for air defenders armed only with pickup truck-mounted machine guns.
