In the yard behind the fence you can see trees of trees, probably knocked down by an explosion. The occupiers assure that the UAV may be American, but Defense Express believes that they are made in Ukraine, although they are kept secret. According to media, similar drones in January 2023 were launched on the basis of preparation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, located approximately 100 km from the front (the exact place is not indicated).
A similar drone was also used to attack the Russian airfield in December 2022. In both cases, Russian inscriptions are visible on the wings: "O", "V", "to Kiev". According to analysts, their purpose was to hide the true origin of the devices. The Russians dismantled the remains of one of the captured drones and noted a large number of civilian components, indicating cheapness. The exception was the GPS navigation block that you will not buy in the commercial market.
According to the publication, the cheap and simple appearance of a tubular body with wings hides a fairly high quality of execution. The device has quite complex shapes, there are also guides, probably they serve to attach to the starting installation. The drone is equipped with a fairly quiet electric engine and a warhead weighing about 3 kg with lesions. All this allows you to strike at a distance of about 100 km.
