They carry no explosives, fly in groups and look a lot like the Shahids, according to GUR spokesman Andrei Chernyak. Russia’s new drones likely cost as little as $10,000 each, making them much cheaper to produce than air defense missiles.
These drones can also fly at an altitude of 1 km, where machine guns or rifles cannot reach them.
Some of these UAVs have a camera and a Ukrainian SIM card to send images to the Russians.
They are determining where our mobile groups are located, where the machine guns are that can destroy them. They are trying to get a picture of where all our air defense is located, he added.
Reuters writes that in this way, Russia is seeking to adapt its tactics and test new technologies to gain an advantage during daily missile and drone strikes on Ukrainian cities and infrastructure.
