A downed drone can still fly several kilometers, so they reach Kyiv and Lvov.

The speaker of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Yuriy Ignat, spoke about this, commenting on the night hit of a downed drone in a Kyiv high-rise building in the Solomensky district.
Why do they fly? Because debris is flying, these are drones that were shot down earlier, perhaps… If it had completely hit this house, then there would simply be no floor there, and not broken windows in the apartment and a fire. This is somewhere “mid-morning”, as I call them. They fly to Lvov, they fly to Kyiv and will continue to fly. Kyiv is a huge city and they are looking for routes. They fly along roads, they can fly along rivers. It is not always possible to intercept them on the approaches to the capital, Ignat said on air at the United News telethon.
According to the speaker of the Air Force, even if it is possible to intercept it, it, already flying by inertia, can fly shot for another five kilometers.
If the Cheetah or anti-aircraft guns or missile hitting that drone, then it no longer has a chance, it explodes and falls down simply in pieces. And if fire groups in the south shoot him down with what they have, he flies, and it’s good if the warhead is not activated, then defeat will still not be enough. But if the warhead is activated during a fall, there will be a hole, a crater, or other undesirable consequences,” Ignat added.
