Iranian drones shoot twice as often when they hit their target – Gumenyuk

The sound of Shahed drones is reminiscent of the sounds of mopeds or chainsaws. For this they were given the nickname “mopeds”.

Ukrainian air defense units shot down Iranian-made kamikaze drones twice as often when they hit the target. This was announced by the head of the joint coordinating headquarters of the press center of the Defense Forces of the South of Ukraine Natalia Gumenyuk on the air of the telethon.

“We continue to study their tactics, but we already have some results. In particular, if we talk about shooting and achieving goals, the ratio is twice in favor of shooting. This, in despite the fact that they are difficult to detect by air defense in terms of indicators, they fly low, but strong enough,” he said.

According to Gumenyuk, the sound of drones resembles the sounds of mopeds or chainsaws.

“That’s why they are called ‘mopeds’, they give notice and you can react to them. They have been shot with small arms and machine guns,” she added.

According to Gumenyuk, if we talk about the purposes where they fall, it is, as a rule, infrastructure facilities, administrative buildings. Because the 40 kg of explosives they carry causes a fire.

“They are like a match thrown into a hearth to further spread the fire. The losses from them are not critical, but they cause a fire,” said Gumenyuk.

The spokesman added that the Russians tend to send kamikaze drones not alone, but in groups to detect air defenses.

Remember, the night before, Russian troops attacked southern Ukraine with seven Shahed-136 kamikaze drones. Five of them were shot by the Ukrainian military.
