UKRAINE has started testing out high-tech drone killing guns that can blast Putin's kamikaze bombs out of the sky using electronic waves.
Their potential ability to smash flying Russian targets from an impressive two miles away could make the new Kvertus AD KVS G-6 defensive weapons a massively valuable asset to Ukraine.

This is in response to Russian's recent barrage of strikes as Ukraine continue to fend them off.
They work just like a regular gun as the human in control of the weapon can fire once they have detected a drone in the sky and with a simple touch of a button the gun is ready to go.
Putin accused of surrounding himself with same 'actors' at series of eventsThe long-range rifle is capable of reaching drones miles away from it due to its expertly designed disk, amplified and directional antennae.
Coming in at only 7kg the gun has a total output power of 100W.
This helps it to use radio signals to interrupt the control of the Russian drone before it can be remotely disabled - sending it tumbling to the ground.
Each individual Kvertus AD KVS G-6 costs £9,500, say reports, with so far only 80 being manufactured since the Russian invasion in 2022.
Another 100 have been ordered in recent weeks with many coming from donors or volunteers trying to bolster up the frontlines.
Kvertus’ director of technology Yaroslav Filimonov said the gun was made to be used “even in a stressful situation" and has a simple aim and shoot trigger.
The simple usage is paired with a super simplistic design with it all being covered inside a plastic frame with a battery attached similar to a magazine.
Another fascinating reason why Ukraine's new super weapon could prove pivotal against their Russian aggressors is how they can help to give troops a wealth of knowledge on the Russians.
Filimonov said: “We are not damaging the drone.
"With communication lost, it just loses coordination and doesn’t know where to go.
Catholics across the world pray for Pope Benedict XVI as his body lies in state"The drone lands where it is jammed, or can be carried away by the wind because it’s uncontrollable.”
He continued saying they can go and find the downed drones wherever they land and examine them to find "a wealth of potential intelligence".
Russia has been launching serious drones attacks on Ukraine since the war begun but recent statistics from Ukraine have revealed 10,400 of their drones have been struck down.
President Volodymyr Zelensky's men have also claimed to have destroyed 7,650 Russian tanks and 14,786 armoured combat vehicles as well as a mammoth 500,000 Russian soldiers.
These numbers have shot up in the past month due to the Russian advance into Kharkiv that saw thousands of Moscow's troops storm the border on May 10.
Despite making their biggest territorial gains in 18 months the Russian death toll has risen sharply as the Ukrainian defence continues to strengthen.
President Zelensky said: "The Ukrainian defence forces have stopped Russian troops in the Kharkiv sector.
"The situation is under control, counter-offensive actions are under way."
The World Health Organisation says 14,000 people have so far been evacuated from Kharkiv amid the daily bombardment of Russian rockets.
Putin is also reportedly ready to offer Ukraine a ceasefire opportunity but only if Kyiv gives up all the territory stolen by Russia.
The despot is considering a pause in the fighting that recognises the current battlefield lines, sources close to his inner circle claim.
One said: "Putin can fight for as long as it takes, but Putin is also ready for a ceasefire to freeze the war."
Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov has previously admitted his boss is open to a dialogue with Ukraine and the West to achieve its goals.
Saying Russia wasn't looking for an eternal war.
Ukraine has had success using kamikaze drones as a weapon in the past with troops blasting a Russian freight train earlier this month, sparking a massive explosion.
The blast proved pivotal in the Ukrainian ploy to block a key missile supply line.
Dramatic footage captured the moment a huge fire on the railway line at Kotluban station near Volgograd erupted after dozens of wagons were derailed.
A witness in a train passing on an undamaged line said he saw an exploded oil wagon and badly burned timber adding: "Everything is mangled.
“Firefighters are here - one carriage is all torn up, lying across the tracks."
As a succession of powerful drone explosions were heard overnight in the Dzerzhinsky district in Kaluga Oblast as flames and smoke filled the air.
Kamikaze drones blasted a Russian oil refinery as three tanks containing diesel fuel, and one tank containing fuel oil, were said to have been set alight.
Another oil depot blitz saw Ukraine strike a key spot near the £3billion bridge linking Crimea to Russia.
Footage showed the blazing oil terminal at Yurovka in southern Krasnodar region, where Vladimir Putin has two sprawling palaces.
Some 62 firefighters rushed to the LUKOIL-Yugnaftoprodukt oil terminal to try and extinguish the roaring blaze.
Ukraine's repeated attacks on oil refineries have become a major headache for Putin, with Russian prices rising and supplies disrupted.
Moscow is meanwhile pummelling Ukraine's power plants in an attempt to hamper the production of weapons and public morale.
