In particular, the Russians increased the warhead of the UAV to 90 kg. In addition, the development of a high-explosive fragmentation warhead continues. Journalist Andrei Tsaplienko reported this on Telegram on April 22 with reference to InformNapalm and Cyber ​​Opposite, which gained access to the manufacturers’ documentation.

It is noted that the modernized Shahed uses a Ukrainian SIM card, which allows the enemy to receive real-time data on the location of the UAV. The enemy also has the ability to track when a target is hit or when a drone is shot down.

In addition, the updated drone can determine zones of suppression/substitution of GPS signals. The drone also receives data about changes in the flight task by transmitting via Telegram.

From the secret documentation it follows that the Russian enterprise Alabuga plans to produce 3 thousand thermobaric warheads for the Shaheds, 5 thousand high-explosive fragmentation warheads and 1 thousand high-explosive fragmentation warheads weighing 90 kg.

Let us remind you that in January it became known that the Russians added a cumulative and incendiary effect to “Shahed”. The new Shahed warhead has the BST-52 index and is a continuation of the previous MSNI. She received additional cumulative and flammable effects.
