After Ukraine's significant success in counteracting Russian -type Russian drones, Russia began to update these drones and change their tactics to overcome Ukrainian defense. Forbes told this.
The new versions of the Shahaneda have an enhanced booking of the motor compartment, which allows them to withstand shelling. Also, fuel tanks, which were previously placed in the wings, were transferred to the drone body - this allows you to stay in the air even after damage to the wing or body.
An important innovation was the integration of subbovitas. Drones can now dump small explosive devices during flight, which makes them less dependent on accurate guidance and allows you to hit the infantry or light fortifications in a larger area.
Such upgraded drones are already used in Sumy and Kharkiv region. The Ukrainian military notes that the explosions occur 20 minutes after the wired wires and are not accompanied by the sound of falling.
In addition, Russia has changed launch tactics: drones are allowed in pairs - one flies below, the other is higher. Ukrainian radars often capture only a lower drone, while the second goes unnoticed, increasing the chances of achieving the goal.
Another feature is the joint use of Shahaneda with Drone-Kamikadze "Lancet", which affect the mobile fire groups of air defense, clearing the way for the main wave of drones.
Ukraine's response has become new counteraction tactics: detection systems are being improved, mobile vehicles are modified, more powerful drones are used.
At the same time, the Ukrainian forces struck one of the Shakhaneda factories, trying to limit their supply.
According to experts, Russia can attack Ukraine with thousands of such drones at the same time, increasing its own production and reducing the dependence on Iran in the coming months.
The latter intelligence show that the new "chess" is equipped with an artificial intelligence and an infrared camera, which testifies to the joint work of the Russian Federation and Iran in the modernization of percussion drones.
