Defense Express: Kyiv was attacked last night by an enemy drone of a new model. Now its remains are being examined

He moved at an extremely low altitude of 20-30 meters. This means that, most likely, we are talking about a kamikaze drone. It is expected that all the details of this drone will be established soon.

Defense Express: Kiev was attacked by an enemy drone of a new model last night. Now its remains are being examined. On the night of July 20, the enemy used not only missiles and drones to attack Ukraine - kamikaze type Shahed-136, but another new drone of an unidentified type, writes Defense Express. </p>
<p>The new unknown drone was moving at a very low altitude of 20-30 meters and was described in official reports as an “UAV of unknown type.” It was with this designation that he was included in the report of the Air Force Command, which reported that thanks to the actions of mobile fire groups, anti-aircraft missile forces and electronic warfare from 16 Shahed, they managed to shoot down 13 and one unidentified drone.</p>
<p>But subsequently, the first image of the wreckage of this drone, which is indeed very different from Shahed-136, appeared on the Internet. In addition, it was clarified that he was moving at an ultra-low altitude of 20-30 meters. And the latter directly says that, most likely, we are talking about a kamikaze drone.</p>
<p>Defense Express also received additional photos of this downed drone from its own sources. Taking them into account, we are talking about a UAV with a possible wingspan of more than 4 meters, an empennage on beams, a pusher propeller and a square-profile fuselage.</p>
<p>It is noted that it may resemble the Russian ZALA 421-20. certain similarities. But this UAV is a reconnaissance UAV, and therefore would hardly fly at such a low altitude. In addition, drones of this type are rare and are unlikely to be produced yet, because ZALA began promoting this drone in the early 2010s, and now it does not even appear in the company’s product catalog.</p>
<p>The publication notes that In any case, the remains of this drone are now being examined, which means that its capabilities, features, as well as the manufacturer and components from which it is assembled will be established in the near future.</p>
