Shahed and missile tracker — what is in the air over Ukraine now
How many targets are over Ukraine right now, what they are and how much time is left before they arrive. Updated every time the monitoring channels post about movement.
As of 00:27, 1 October (Kyiv time) — the sky is clear
No active targets right now. That is not a guarantee: if nobody posted about an object, it is not listed here.
This is not a radar. We have no antennas and no access to detection systems. “Radar” is simply the familiar word for what is really a digest of posts from open Telegram monitoring channels. Take cover on the official air raid alert, not on this page.
What you see in the list
Each row is one object or one group, merged from the posts of several channels. If three channels post about the same Shahed, it is listed once, not three times.
The weapon type is not a guess: it comes from how the post named the object. A jet-powered Shahed and a regular one are different types with different speeds, which is why their time to arrival differs. When a channel wrote only “drone”, we show the most likely type and say so in the row.
Time to arrival — where the number comes from
It is computed from three things: where the object was at the last post, where it is heading, and how fast this type of weapon flies. The distance is divided by the speed, and the countdown keeps running on its own between posts.
So it is an estimate, not a measurement. The fresher the last post, the better it is. After twenty minutes of silence the number still ticks, but deserves less trust: the object may have turned, slowed down or been shot down, and nobody wrote about it.
The speeds are not taken from spec sheets: they are calibrated on real legs between posts. The 185 km/h on a Shahed's spec sheet and its actual speed along a route are different numbers.
Why a target leaves the list
Every target has a lifetime computed from the same physics: how long it needs to reach its destination, plus a margin. If nobody mentions it in that time, it turns grey on the map and then leaves the list.
That is deliberate. A marker nobody has posted about for an hour shows not the object but our guess about it — better to remove it than to draw something that is not there.
What is not here
Objects nobody posted about. The channels do not cover the country evenly: over large cities there are many posts, over sparsely populated areas almost none. An empty list means “nobody posted about it”, not “there is nothing there”.
