    The weapon will be operated from the ground using VR goggles.

    Not that this isn’t good, but one thing that I’ve considered before in a Shahed counter…if it uses visual light to track its target, my guess is that there may still be ways to get past it, like flying inside clouds or fog.

    That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t still greatly improve the situation.
