At the same time, Ukraine continues to successfully neutralize the majority of launched weapons. The press service of the UK Ministry of Defense reported this today, December 6, citing intelligence data.
Since mid-2023, Russia has almost certainly supplemented Iranian-supplied Shahed drones with similar weapons manufactured in factories in Russia, the report notes. – Now Russia is almost certainly trying to improve UAV designs based on operational experience.
Thus, it is noted that in November a downed drone was discovered, equipped with a Ukrainian SIM card and a 4G modem.
This is likely a Russian home-made modification to improve real-time targeting via cell phone towers to reduce dependence on satellite navigation,” British intelligence said. “There is a real possibility that this could be an attempt to weaken Ukrainian electronic warfare capabilities.
Additionally, some of Russia’s kamikaze drones may have been given a black coating, making it difficult to visually identify the drones at night.
