War in Ukraine. Russia modifies drones. “More destructive explosions”
From August Russia intensified attacks on Ukrainewhich according to Kiev officials is Moscow's attempt to destroy critical infrastructure needed for winter heating.
The Russians are not only increasing the number of attacks using drones, but also enhance the striking power of Iran's Shahed drones by arming them with thermobaric warheads. The information was reported by “Newsweek”, citing the expertise of a team of scientists from Kiev. The weapons were to be used in October during attacks on Ukraine.
Thermobaric warheads they release a flammable aerosol shortly before exploding. During detonation, the mixture burns together with the oxygen in the air, resulting in strong shock wave and a sudden change in pressure that is lethal to humans.
From the tests they were subjected to fragments of kamikaze dronesit turns out that they are also equipped with Russian Comet navigation systems and Chinese control panels.
“It has not yet been established whether this increases the precision of attacks, but it certainly does more destructive explosions“ – reported the Ukrainian news agency UNN.
