New Ukrainian app helps citizens take down Russian 'kamikaze' drones as attacks intensify
Fox News
Ukrainian developers have released an app that allows citizens to assist the military in shooting down Russian drones and missiles by sending coordinates from their phones.
Ukrainian citizens who download the app can type in the name of the target, such as a missile or a suicide drone, point their phones at the direction of the incoming target and press a red button. The Ukrainian military will then see that marker on the map and use its location along with radar technology to more effectively track and shoot down the threat.

"Enemy attack unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are causing significant damage to our critical infrastructure," the Ukrainian government posted on Telegram. "They also pose a significant danger to civilians: suicide drones can carry several tens of kilograms of explosives and create a powerful shock wave when hit."
