Russia Studies Jet-powered Ukrainian Drone To Counter 'New Threat' As Oil Refinery Damaged In Attack

Russian specialists have managed to capture and examine a new Ukrainian kamikaze drone equipped with a jet engine. Dmitry Kuzyakin, general director of the Center for Complex Unmanned Solutions said studying the trophy will help counter a new UAV. Russia said its forces had downed 75 Ukrainian drones overnight, with nearly 50 destroyed over the southern Rostov region. Regional authorities in the Black Sea town of Tuapse in the Krasnodar region said debris from a downed drone sparked a fire in a petrol refinery. Nearly 100 firefighters had been deployed to battle the blaze, Russian authorities said. Footage showed the a drone flying to and hitting the refinery with a loud bang and a fireball amid a rattle of gunfire. Watch the video to find out more.

It'll have to pay a hefty price for this act....

[jankarlsson]

Which range does a drone have, how far do they reach?

[UMAKEMESMILESWACKIN]

imagine studying a drone when you can already make stealth jets

a drone is a childs toy

[joemyler]

Ukraine might not have had time or forgot to install a kill switch.

[HarwardMbonxa]

Where are the Storm shadow missiles and ATACAMS, just like the leopards or Abrams tanks they being rendered useless by Russia and ukraine desperate drones seems to just fall from the skies without striking a target.

Jet power drone Ukraine 🇺🇦 just keep getting better at this drone kinda crazy 😱

[emmanuelsello]

Targeting oil refinaries will hit back at Ukraine and European union. Oil prices will continue to escalate.

[aleserban]

stop NATO aggressively surrounding Russia- the best self defence if you are tight in the corner surrounded by enemy is forward attack. normal military rule. it was provoked. breaching of Minks peace agreements ignited that

[jayyoo]

Ukr. Motor Sich company could make small jet engine, perhaps.

[PerceivedREALITY]

The proxy war in Ukraine is the first time NATO has tried to pick on someone their own size and NATO is getting humiliated.

[PerceivedREALITY]

Saying the patriot can shoot down Iskander is like saying biden can run up the stairs without stumbling.

And the refinery is good only for making macaroni now!
Keep on studying (and copying). 😂

Ukraine showing Russians how to conduct a war

[penoge]

The increasing of the speed of the drone doesn't help against remote controled or autonomos operating air defence missiles.

[penoge]

The question is, whether the Ukrainian drone itself identifies the radar stations of the Russian air defence or get the information about the Russian air defence from somewhere else.
