The Russians have begun to produce new attack drones that are larger but slower than the Shahids – ISW
Russia has started mass production of Termit helicopter drones, but they do not pose a strong threat to Ukraine.
This is says the report of the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), citing Russian sources.
It is noted that on December 12, Russians, including a well-known state propagandist, said that the country was producing a helicopter-type drone called Termit.
The drone is armed with 80-mm missiles with a range of up to six kilometers.
At the same time, a military analyst from Ukraine reported on December 1 that Termite drones do not pose a threat to Ukrainian forces. According to him, such drones are larger and slower than Shahids, making them easy targets for the Defense Forces to shoot down.
