Ukrainian analogue "Shahaneda: What attacked the Armed Forces during a massive UAV strike on the Russian Federation

But a key feature of this attack was the emergence of a new Ukrainian shock drone, the Defense Express observers write. The videos made during the attack recorded the destruction of UAV, which structurally reminiscent of Iranian "Shahda". It is assumed that the Russian anti-aircraft missile and harmonious complex "Armory-C1" was involved in its elimination. It is noteworthy that the use of a new drone coincided with the official demonstration of the Ukrainian shock drone Uas Seth.

However, experts noted that this device is only resembling "Shahaned", while its tactics are closer to the Russian "Lancet". But the new UAV used during the attack on objects in the area of ​​Moscow, similar to Shahaned not only visually but also on the principle of combat use. According to preliminary estimates, the new drone has large dimensions, which potentially allows it to carry a combat part of a mass of several tens of kilograms.

And if the video is really made near Moscow, it can be assumed that its flight range is at least 600 km. An interesting feature of this UAV is the black color of the body, which should complicate its detection by Russian mobile firing groups. At the same time, the Ukrainian drone has differences in the structure. In particular, the footage shows the front horizontal plumage, absent in the Iranian model.

This aerodynamic solution is likely to increase the maneuverability and controllability of the device. Another detail that has attracted the expert attention is a constructive element at the bottom of the housing near the engine resembling an air keel or antenna. However, it is most likely a device for running a drone from a catapult. We will remind, the 12 special purpose brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine received the first batch of shock drones UAS SETH.
