AI-powered interceptor drones built by a tech company founded by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt are playing a major role in helping Ukraine shoot down Russian Shahed drones, according to a report by Ekonomichna Pravda.

Ukrainian military sources told the outlet that Schmidt’s company, Swift Beat, has provided three types of drones to Ukraine’s defense forces. Though the names of the models were withheld for security reasons, officials said the systems are responsible for downing roughly 90% of Russian Shaheds intercepted by drones.

The drones are said to be equipped with advanced AI targeting technology and a secure communication system that has so far proven resistant to Russian electronic warfare.

Schmidt, who helped turn Google into one of the world’s most powerful tech companies, has become an influential figure in both Ukraine’s political and military leadership, the report says.

Earlier in July, he was seen meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky and then-Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, as Swift Beat signed a long-term strategic partnership with Ukraine.
