Our diplomatic correspondent James Landale is in Ukraine and has been to see the latest anti-drone technology the country has to offer.

We're standing in a field in the middle of the Ukrainian countryside and it's a place where people come to test drones.

We've come to look at a drone called a bullet.

They're putting it together in front of us and it looks like a very strange weapon, a hybrid weapon.

Half quadcopter drone, half plastic shell.

And it's the latest technology, the latest design that the Ukrainians have come up with to destroy lethal Russian Shahed drones that attack Ukraine almost nightly.

The bullet's just taken off, rising on its four propellers.

And then suddenly, whoosh, away it goes.

It tips on its side, rockets away, and now it's just a small speck on the horizon.

Its top speed is well over 300 kilometres an hour.

This is one of Ukraine's newest and fastest interceptors, and the idea behind it is very simple.

The pilots launch the bullet and use a first-person camera simply to crash it into an incoming drone.

They're deadly, and the pilots know they could be just as effective against similar Iranian Shahed drones, causing havoc across the Middle East.

This drone pilot, Kursain Draka, thinks Ukraine has much to offer.

Honestly, we have enough work here.

We've come now to the factory where the drones are made.

There are rows and rows of men and women soldering, assembling, fixing, sorting.

And there are piles and piles of these drones.

You really get a sense of just how relatively simple it is to make these drones and why they're so cheap.
