Ukrainian troops share lessons on stopping Iran's drones

Season 2026 Episode 54 | 5m 05s

For more than 10 days, Iran has used Shahed drones to target American bases, killing U.S. troops and hitting civilian infrastructure facilities. But long before they flew across the Middle East, Shaheds fired by Russia targeted Ukrainian troops and infrastructure. Special correspondent Jack Hewson reports from Kharkiv, where he spoke with frontline forces who have experience facing the drones.
