Ignatus stated that the "chema", which Russians attack Ukrainians, are moving at a speed of 100 km/h. The Russian command tries to "experiment" with jet drones that could have higher speed. However, such devices are "not rational". Today, the Dron Kamikadze, which would have a speed of 400 km/h, have never been tracked, a spokesman for the Air Force said. According to the military, reactive drones are irrational for two reasons.
First, in this case, the weight of the explosive, which can be carried by the device, decreases. Secondly, it becomes more expensive. With this improvement in UAV, it turns into a rocket. "What the enemy will experiment, to make jet engines, as far as it will be rationally spoken. In fact, the cost will increase and the combat part will decrease, it actually becomes a rocket," Ignat said. It should be noted that in December 2023, the Iranian media showed footage with drone-Kamikadze Shahd-238.
The device had a jet engine and was made in three different versions that were different. Objective options: inertial system and GPS, infrared/optical and radar. The fuselage was painted in black so that the UAV was less noticeable to the locators. Shahaneda's reactive speed-400-600 km/h. In January 2024, Defense Express experts noted that the Russian Federation could really get a small number of Kamikadze's jet drones from Iran.
They also explained what they are dangerous: they will need to use not the machine guns of mobile groups, but more serious weapons. The military-political observer of the "Information Resistance" project Alexander Kovalenko listed what shortcomings may have Shahd-238. In his opinion, the device has a shorter range and is more noticeable for air defense. However, despite these shortcomings, drones can perform certain tasks on the battlefield.
